D) True aside from group calls afaik
E) Neither does Whatsapp/Signal; they rely on a backdoor interface to your phone to send messages.

Signal desktop can send & receive messages while your phone is off, so that doesn't seem correct.

Wonder how that works then? Weird.
Signal very definitely does multiparty end-to-end secure messaging.
Weird, every time I mention Signal on HN tptacek responds.
But I'm having trouble discerning what you mean.
Either you're saying group chats are encrypted E2EE - which, I never claimed.
Or, you're mentioning that you can have multiple phones/devices on the same account, which doesn't work the last time I checked.
You replied to a claim that Telegram doesn't do E2EE for groups saying 'Neither does Whatsapp/Signal'.
That's wrong as `tptacek noted. If you meant something else, that wasn't clear.

It does work. How do you think Signal desktop works?

E) Yet it works fine on Matrix.
I've tried to use Matrix a few times and eventually end up leaving. The idea is good, but it's just missing so many nice features that it kinda isn't worth the pain. Features that Telegram just keeps dropping like candy.
Too much candy is unhealthy.

Your complains are quite vague. It seems to be working fine for me.
