Couldn't have said it better. If they would have e2e for all chats & groups I would live in this thing. It's much better than Slack etc for me, but I trust them even less than Slack. Matrix has, like Slack, sub conversations which I like, so they have, on the server, everything that Telegram has and more, is open source and I can host myself, but the clients :( Yes, I can write one myself or help with Element. I guess this is something to really think about as the commercial offerings are simply not very good outside Telegram but I don't really trust them with my data.

Yeah, I'd really like an option for permanent E2EE on all platforms but I trust Telegram with my data. As long as they're not selling it to advertisers and their apps remain FOSS, I'm fine with sharing my data. I also really like Telegram's privacy policy (https://privacyspy.org https://privacyspy.org), which is why I'm okay with cloud side encryption instead of E2E. Every E2EE app that I've tried in the past, has been a UX nightmare and cloud sync is something that's extremely essential to my workflow so Telegram has been a pretty amazing free service.
