Telegram is just actually superior in terms of features I don't get it.

Because everyone else uses Whatsapp. I don't like it either but I need it for work so I use it. It is what it is.

I refuse to touch additional Meta products until I feel good about even ONE of the existing offerings. ZERO hits so far.

Personally? Because telegram feels dodgier than WhatsApp. At least I can trust WhatsApp enough around security. If I really want to upgrade my privacy or freedom, I would have chosen either Matrix, Signal or Session.

Yeah I get that. It also is dodgier lol. Some of the type of people that use telegram are hella suspicious
