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

But this bridge kills e2e encryption? And if you do not care about it telegram and WhatsApp are a better choice.

I have a video which explains it in detail: https://tube.jeena.net/w/rYhp4ZT5Ykw1aBGqMr62KG

But in short, yes, but that is only a problem if you don't host your own bridge, because you're in control of the whole chain and everything from the bridge to your client is still encrypted.
