For sure people engaging in an information war should not be surprised that impactful people would have "kinetic" responses from angry/desperate actors. People get punched for saying dumb things in bars all the time, and the stakes are higher here.

A small minority has been telling the retards to stop using Telegram for quite awhile now.
The majority take convenience over security.
Use instead:
Element
Signal
Session
Jami
- JitsiAnd several others here
https://www.privacytools.io/privacy-messaging/
On the Signal Github, Android uses Java language (a completely different language from Javascript) and Apple iOS uses Swift. However the desktop version uses Typescript which is essentially Javascript
https://github.com/signalapp
The signal server is written in Java and the libsignal repo is written in Rust.
Other than Signal-Desktop, nothing uses Javascript.
Phone number is why I never went on telegram.
I suggest not using Jitsi unless you're running your own server. If not your calls are probably being recorded. I have to use it for work and its shit to begin with. Atleast once a day it just stops recognizing that you have a headset plugged in, or hits an error where it cant find network ports for calls.
Jitsi is crossed off the list since I haven't looked into it as much. I would keep in mind though that most projects that end up on privacy tools have already gone through a pretty big vetting process of being audited and/or open sourcing their code on Github.
They're open source but if you aren't running your own server or using someone else's you trust, then you're using theirs. They also participate in one of Goolgle's annual events about teaching coding.
Edit: At my job I can go back and listen to any call that anyone in my company has made in the last year, if they did it on Jitsi.
