404 Media reports that a bunch of cybercriminals are ditching Telegram in the wake of CEO Pavel Durov's arrest: https://www.404media.co/in-wake-of-durov-arrest-some-cybercriminals-ditch-telegram/
I've seen the same! The crew behind a one-time password stealing operation called Estate (I profiled earlier this year: https://techcrunch.com/2024/05/13/cyber-criminals-stealing-one-time-passcodes-sim-swap-raiding-bank-accounts/) wiped its channel and ditched Telegram, citing the messaging app's recent moderation changes that allows anyone to report private groups.
"Telegram can't be trusted anymore," wrote the OTP bot crime crew.

Signal is not better than matrix in any way… or xmpp
Why do you say Signal is no better?
Edit: misread as comparing to telegram, not matrix.
Signal being centralized just ruins it compared to matrix.
Xmpp is not encrypted. So sorry but without that, your sentence makes no sense at all.

I had no idea XMPP wasn’t encrypted, JFC that’s garbage
I mean you can (client side). But the protocol is agnostic of any encryption.
