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

    Why does anyone choose Telegram or WhatsApp over Signal which is encrypted and audited? (Probably features I don’t care about, but they do)

    Why do not more people choose a matrix server and use a decentralized way of communication instead of committing themselves to this or that app/company?

    Because most people they know use WhatsApp/Facebook/Instagram.

      If I were clever enough to host my own matrix server I would in a heartbeat. Bridges to WhatsApp, insta, fb, etc. are game changers.

        I found a server in the list I posted that was hosted by people in my area and funded by donations. I got in touch with them and they even implemented some bridges with that server. Now I am using it with a WhatsApp bridge, feels pretty seamless.
