Line has a fully featured desktop client that's even more lightweight than Telegram. They also have a white paper that explains their encryption which is decent enough https://d.line-scdn.net/stf/linecorp/en/csr/line-encryption-...

You do need to turn off "display stickers suggestion" before the app becomes nice.

Does Line offer server based/cross-platform messaging with a similar upload allowance? I’m curious to find telegram alternatives.

Intriguing (and surprising to me that they offer E2EE at all), but there is seemingly no Linux build. I can't seem to find source code either (Telegram Desktop's is released under the GPL).
