My threat model with nudes are different from my whistle blowing.
Signal also makes trade offs in order to het crypto to the masses.

Yeah, but “supporting plaintext comms by default” is not a trade off to get crypto to the masses, it’s a failure to do so at all. What’s wrong with the disappearing messages feature?

Disappearing messages are per thread. In telegram i can choose to 'disapear' single messages.

You can turn it on and off for the conversation whenever you want.

But I can't go back and delete a message. I can prepare to delete the next message. Not, a message.

I mean, that feature can be abused in a whole host of ways

In a private chat... thats a feature. Imo
i'd rather have a foundation of properly functioning, award winning cryptography than "features" designed for people who haven't thought through their threat model sufficiently.
