why telegram and not signal or threema?
Now that's easy to answer:
* Signal refuses connections from forked clients like LibreSignal, i.e. might be "open source", but is not "open".
* Threema is no free software (not even open source) and hence can't be trusted anyway.
But Telegram has issues, too:
* The server-side code is not open source.
* End to end is not default and also cumbersome, because it's device to device, not user to user.
Huge matrix (sic!) comparing features and anti-features of messengers:
