People don't like Telegram because it's a centralized thing and maybe not trustworthy. I'm not sure if I'd trust the Telegram founders, and their commitment to open source seems questionable to me (no server, outdated clients). People advocate for Signal because it's arguably the least offensive of the available e2e options. Also the founder for Signal has a long history of doing good work in this area.

You use the client he dictates or fuck off. There's closed source software that respects freedom more than Signal.

This is not a long term solution :)

It's a per-conversation preference, as far as I remember. You only have to do it once.
