That comes from upstream's README.md. I've never payed any attention to it, but now that you've pointed it out, I'm seriously considering changing that paragraph, or adding a note/disclaimer somewhere.
After all these years and promises, server's code is still closed, federation is nowhere to be found, their update/commit policy for the official Android app is a joke [1] (they even closed its issue tracker), and I'm really tired of their "trust us, we're not evil" policy [2].
If you haven't switched to Matrix/Riot, do it right away.

- CiPHPerCoder 10y agoAs one of the resident cryptography nerds: Matrix/Riot seems to be in every way better than Telegram. I still need to review it before I can wholesale recommend it, but it was audited by NCC Group previously.
- ohstopitu 10y agoI don't seem to understand Matrix/Riot. It appears to be like IRC, but also integrates with Gitter, and IRC and has a identity federator called vector.im.
- ianburrell 10y agoMatrix is a federated chat protocol. It is like IRC or XMPP but synchronizes history and uses HTTP-based protocol. There are bridges to IRC, XMPP, and Gitter. Riot is a client. It used to be named Vector.im.
