Doesn't Signal have mostly the same functionality as Telegram? Except for groups where only the admin can post which are more like Newsletter subscriptions, both apps have 1-to-1 and group chats, no? Telegram just has a slicker interface, bots, and lots and lots of useless nonsense with stickers and stuff.

Telegram groups do not have end-to-end encryption, so you can join a group by clicking on a group link, similar to a forum. Signal groups are end-to-end encrypted, which conflicts with the forum concept.

Telegram has no group encryption that means you can host giant groups on them which are harder on other platforms. I think groups with for example 50k subscribers are better public posts but it seems to attract people...
