I hope one day apps like Signal will be the default for everyone, not just protesters in a time of crisis.

The Signal app experience leaves a lot to be desired compared to Telegram or Matrix.

It's just a fact that Telegram has more features. Every few weeks I get a notification with a long list of features, it's a more rich experience. My main favourite thing is just that gifs show up bigger.

Muted chat, chat groups, draw on photos, stickers on photos, quiz / polls, dice rolls.

Signal does cover the basics well through (GIFs, voice messages, video, photo, replies) and it has a clean interface.

Signal has all of these

> quiz / polls, dice rolls.

Not these, as far as I know.

Also lacks proper fast and memory efficient desktop client, good cloud backups, settings for almost everything (traffic usage/space/visuals), programmable bots. And I'm not saying about some features that for example I use a lot, like "Channels" (Almost always for news, but with ability to offline access to linked websites). Anyway: you just have to test for yourself how comfortably fast their software is on both desktop/mobile platforms. Tho sure I like Signal very much, it's just not a product for "average human" for now.
