Look, that all makes perfect sense, and apart from the fact that I think Telegram is a deeply problematic project, I don't generally care what people use for casual communication. I use Slack, FFS!

But please remember the article we're actually commenting on starts like this:

One of the things I do is cryptography and infosec training for investigative journalists who have a need to keep either their sources and communications confidential so they can more safely do their work in the public interest.

Right. You got me there. In THAT context I'm completely with you and the recommendation for these people probably should be Signal, keeping the technical/philosophical differences for places like this one here.

Wishing that Signal would do things differently? Fair. Not recommending Signal to these users if it is your job to train them? Not a good idea.
