Is Telegram really that bad and should i look more into it or is sticking to signal really the best option?

...or you go for Matrix, which has "bridges" allowing to chat with Signal and Telegram users (among others).

Okay, Now I want to ait down and learn hkw to use Matrix. Let me get this straight: It allows me to communicate with people on other apps such as discord and whatsapp? So does that mean I can just replace all my messaging with Matrix bridges?

Do you know any good, FOSS Matrix bridge apps that are kept updated?

Most look out of date on Droidify.

The Matrix bridges run server-side and not on the phone.
