What's your opinion on telegram from a foss and privacy perspective? (feddit.it)

I see i can find a foss version on f-droid, and that's something not a lot of social networks can have, i don't really like all the crypto bullshit and ads testing they've been up to lately, but still looks better to me compared to what Reddit have done lately or what other platforms have done in these years..

I don't know about their privacy feature, but i wouldn't trust their chat as for as far as i knew they were not end to end encrypted some time ago (except for secret chats).

Anyway it still looks like one of the at least still decent platforms out there, or am i wrong?

Not sure from fluffychat how is the registration process. I originally registered from Element app, which is also good. And in that time it was pretty easy, it made me to register on matrix.org . And I used my same account very smoothly in Fluffychat
