I am recommending both. The problem is that Signal (which I use along with the other messaging apps) is that it is not feature rich as the other 2 and Signal is not popular so ppl download it just to interact with one person (Me) whereas Telegram has more user base.
I don't care for crypto bullshit, and I was not too happy to hear that Signal joined that party, but it turns out you don't run into this as a Signal user if you are not specifically looking into it.
I don't believe they lost any credibility with this, I thing people don't know about it for the most part, or don't care for the majority of the remaining part.
Is Session's also good? They had this cryptobro stuff from the beginning so I never paid attention despite their claims that security is on par with Signal and the like (probably not the SGX and sealed sender bits, but the message contents encryption). Nobody ever talks about it but yesterday they apparently got a million users. Makes me wonder whether to start paying attention

Signal really needs a good bot support... that's the only thing keeping me on telegram.
Signal lost all credibility with their cryptobro bullshit
But telegram also launched a cryptocurrency: toncoin
So why recommend telegram over signal?

That's not how credibility and trust works

Only among people who pay attention to cryptobro bullshit. They remain the gold standard among cryptography engineers.
