Yes, I would prefer the Facebook Messenger over Telegram, which is also encrypted like WhatsApp now. End to end encryption is a bare minimum. Also, I am not saying you have to leave Telegram, if you understand that it is not private and don't use it for private chats. Use it a social media if you must. That's all really. Although I understand it's hard to make people switch to Signal with you when you are also on that other messenger they all primarily use.
