Telegram wins for me, because desktop is a first class citizen.

  That and it's dead easy to write a bot.

    It's pretty easy to write a bot for Signal too, if you're willing to run a daemon: https://pypi.org/project/pysignald/ https://pypi.org/project/pysignald/

    yup. i wrote a simple one for my group of friends (i was also playing around with asyncio for the first time) and it took me less than an afternoon.

  Desktop is a first class citizen, so much that encrypted chats aren't supported yet.
  • Aloha 7y ago
    That's not accurate, it's supported on one of the two desktop clients.
    • chupa 7y ago
      Ah, you mean the one for macOS only. No, I was talking about the multiplatform one.

    Encrypted chats are just useless on telegram

  I have both Signal and Telegram and although I don't use as much Telegram to say this with absolute certainty, but Signal definitely has issues on all platforms I use (Android, macOS, Linux) - not deal-breakers, but issues. Telegram on the other hand has had none thus far.

    I'm curious to know what issues you have with Signal on Android. I use Signal on Android daily and I haven't had problems with it for a few years now.
