Telegram Became the Anti-Facebook

Other advantages:

-not being tied to a phone number

-having a desktop app which doesn't suck (sync issues, connection issues, lacking features, is basically a simple proxy for your phone, etc)

-allows me to use 3rd party apps

-having chat history synced across my apps and devices and backed up. History is immensely important

Checkout Element, it covers all that as well. However, the Desktop App is Electron, so I don't know if you are OK with that

This is the main problem with Matrix for me. If they would just develop a good desktop client, I would be all over it.

Have you tried some of the alternatives like fluffychat ? I feel their UI is far ahead of the official clients

Actually, no. Thanks for the hint, I'll be testing that soon :)
