Email 1 - Signal vs Telegram - Eddie
Telegram vs Signal for messaging?
Telegram client is open source and supports Linux
Telegram server is closed source
Signal is more secure but requires a phone number
Phone numbers can reveal your real identity
Moxie Marlinspike (Matthew Rosenfeld) - really particular about 3rd party clients, makes it not very inviting
Not so great when your playing with alternative operating systems (SailfishOS PostmarketOS), Signal has to make a client, rather than just supporting an API
Use Element/Matrix
Setup your own server
Sign up for paid hosting EMS
Sign up for free on a community server like Linux Delta

Run Matrix on CoreOS
https://fedoramagazine.org/deploy-your-own-matrix-server-on-fedora-coreos/
With Fedora CoreOS, you get all the benefits of Fedora (podman, cgroups v2, SELinux) packaged in a minimal automatically updating system thanks to rpm-ostree.
Running a Matrix service requires the following software:
Synapse: a Matrix server
PostgreSQL: a database
Nginx: a web server
Let’s Encrypt: a certificate provider
Element: a Matrix web client
