So are Signal, Element, Revolt and many other apps. What's to special about Telegram?

I don't understand why people like it so much, I tried it and found the experience pretty bad. Signal is a million times better and easier to use, and Matrix isn't that hard to figure out either.
Can you name a feature that other apps are missing?
The official version of Telegram isn't available on F-Droid either, and it doesn't use end-to-end encryption by default, so it's much more likely that it is a honeypot
But RusSSian/UAE-based Telegram is fine? 😂
Also, it really doesn't matter where Signal is based, as long as it's client code is open source and it uses E2EE by default. Telegram doesn't encrypt chats by default, and even if you enable 'secret chats' it uses a pretty weak encryption protocol.
Btw the official version of Telegram isn't available on F-Droid either, only a fork called Telegram-FOSS. You can get the exact same thing for Signal from a 3rd-party repo: https://www.twinhelix.com/apps/signal-foss/, or use Molly.
Honestly, Telegram sucks. Use Signal for private communications and Matrix for groups/communities.
I'm glad Suyu wants to carry on the legacy of Yuzu. Many forks are just reuploads of yuzu with no new commits.
That's great, it seems like Suyu is taking this seriously and actually wants to continue development of the emulator. Many forks of yuzu just look like reuploads of the original repo with no new commits.
Oh yeah I forgot about their CEO, he's an asshole
Brave has built-in telemetry, that pings their servers every day, by default it comes with a whole bunch of blockchain/NFT bullshit, it installs VPN services on your computer without your consent, they used to insert their affiliate links into URLs of shopping websites and there are many more controversies around Brave.
How would you even pirate that?
Absolutely not.
