I know Signal is technically better but Telegram provides a much better user experience than Signal or WhatsApp and is also less problematic than WhatsApp.
My understanding is that Telegram is partnered with a non profit crypto group, and that group is partnered with like 20 different companies that validate transactions, one of which is Tencent.
Granted I only read a couple articles on it in the last five minutes cause this was the first I heard of it, there could be more to the story I missed.
I’m not OP, but I’ve switched to Telegram a while back because I loved the silent message option. Scheduled are also awesome, and recently added quote part of reply is very neat.
This is all UX, the UI is sleek but nothing too extraordinary for me.
You need to explicate the hell out of this cuz I vehemently disagree and point out, in terms of user experience its dogshit for me (but also implicitly that Telegram is conveniently insecure by default and even if you “encrypt”, ifs a non-documented public slop version of messaging encryption [novel + security by obscurity]
Consequently, I would never be comfortable trusting it
What do you want expectorated, why IMO Telegram is less problematic than WhatsApp or why the UI is way better than Telegram or Signal? Cause they’re very different things.

The problem with telegram is that it’s not even e2e encrypted by default.
But the ui is really nice. I wonder why no other project simply forked telegram’s client and focused on the encryption and server side code
Considering Telegram has partnered with Tencent, I wouldn’t say it’s less problematic.

Just out of curiosity, since I am fine with the Signal UI/UX: what would you say are the top features that make Telegram better?

That doesn’t appear to be a screenshot of Telegram, but of a designer’s portfolio piece example redesign of Telegram.
It doesn’t look anything like Telegram for Android, though a quick look at real screenshots suggests it’s more similar to Telegram for iOS.

Expectoration is more about coughing up phlegm so not sure how toaddress that quite yet ;) Tell me more :)
I was just kinda poking fun at your choice of word haha explicate is exactly the right word but it’s not really a common word to use.
To be fair, I’m a bit of a—lets say rare bird, 🤠
