700M users and Premium

Its not years behind. That's a lie. In fact Id say it's ahead because you don't need to use a phone number (huge liability), you can choose to use e2e if you want and theyre not storing your data in plaintext!

Oh and all of matrix is totally open source! Wow. That's how you know you can trust it. If they decide to pull a WhatsApp and move to Facebook, you can just fork and get on with your life.

I like that the telegram client is open, but the sever isn't. Which means I don't really trust them. Same problem as Signal.

Just because it's open source doesn't mean I can trust it, I don't have the time to audit the code myself. Being open source is not a feature.

Mabye you wont, but someone else do it. It would be pointless to open code with unwanted tricks behind.

Yes it is, because you can. Just because you personally wont doesn't remove it as a feature.
