Element gets a “good” on ease of use but IME using multiple clients is a pain in butt with the way encryption keys are handled. Lots of people complain about not being able to read some messages in an encrypted room I am in. I understand if it’s a limitation of them not storing your keys on a centralised server (unless you opt for it I think) but it makes it very difficult for normie friends.
Your post says that Threema doesn’t have voice and video calls, that’s wrong.

Feature-wise Threema is very, very solid, and they will soon be adding even more features now that people are in a frenzy about not being spied upon 24/7.

Telegram’s E2EE isn’t even partial since it’s inexistent in groups ¯\(ツ)/¯

Where does Telegram have ads? I’ve certainly never seen any.
They’re going to https://lemmy.ml/post/45696
Okay but thats only for public channels, so anyone who uses it as an instant messenger will never see those.
This comparison ignores the leaking of metadata: for that, the only viable option is Briar.
It also ignores ease of use: Signal is still reasonable, Element is too fiddly and buggy for non-technical users.
