Is there a preference of Telegram over Signal or vice versa?
Some people may try to blame this on incompetence, but they still won't be able to explain how exactly someone might arrive at this implementation without malicious intent.

Shut up and code then. I’ll personally review your fully decentralized and secure chat app which nobody uses because it’s not available on any app store. Let me know when it’s done.
Because if the adversary is, say, an abusive ex that happens to work for the telco, for example, then it doesn't matter. Unless you're actively hunted by a G7 country your problems are inconsequential.

We have at least one data point that says that Signal stores exactly two integers about you, or did when the subpoena was issued: https://www.aclu.org/open-whisper-systems-subpoena-documents
things can always change, but that’s evidence submitted in court under the penalty of perjury, which is a fairly strong claim.
