Spain has banned Telegram.
They are claiming this is over copyright violations of users, that Telegram is failing to police. Now some users will be forced to consider decentralized solutions. As I have repeated many times, Session messenger empowers users to defy state level censorship, with its unique blockchain based DNS that completely separates physical locations from identity. And our team has repeatedly mentioned using Session to defy a Monero ban.
With Session, if the location of the VPS or device is discovered, the user can rotate the blockchain name to a new public key. On the other hand, SimpleX, Tor Onions, or XMPP are tied to physical devices with encryption keys in memory, and their discovery is a game-over.
However, Session receives a lot of criticism. Rather than ignore this, I tackle it head on, https://simplifiedprivacy.com/spain-has-banned-telegram-defending-session/

I said Matrix is better than both of them, hence talking about telegram...
I have a separate account for every identity all using different IP's, the metadata is meaningless. Matrix is the best way to chat online once you consider all pros and cons.
What's the top 10 then?
Matrix is #1 from a privacy, usability, and feature perspective. For you facebook is in the top 3.
Saying retarded crap like Matrix is not in the top 10, clearly it is in the top 10 and #1 at the moment.
