Can someone compare PGP (delta chat) with Telegram privacy? (lemm.ee)

I don’t want to see PGP rejection based on usability. So, to level the field at user level we take Delta Chat, which uses PGP. If I understand that correctly.

I have no knowledge of telegram security at all.

I've never seen anyone use Telegram's e2ee. Not even by the users outside the legal realm, to put it mildly. Not only is it opt-in but it also works in the mobile app only.

I've used it, on Windows

So how do you start or join a secret chat on Windows?

Custom third-party clients. It's a mess.
