Isn't Telegram partially closed source?

There is an unofficial FOSS version. I'm not sure if it is feature complete, secure, etc.

It is. It's the official app with misfeature removed.

It is still unofficial

>This is an unofficial, FOSS-friendly fork of the original Telegram App for Android.

I don't think Telegram should really be seen as an alternative to Signal. It doesn't use E2E encryption by default.

I, too, enjoy sharing my message history with the various Russian intelligence services.

If you live in US, better to share with FSB/GRU, than FBI/CIA/NSA. The same thing happens, only in reverse, if you live in Soviet Russia.

Anyway, there is no need to worrying, MOSSAD watch as all.
