I run a debian server with a friend.
I have installed synapse following https://github.com/spantaleev/matrix-docker-ansible-deploy/ .
I have configured the bridge https://github.com/tulir/mautrix-telegram again through the playbook.
I had some problem related to private telegram contacts sharing between our two accounts on the server.
mautrix/telegram#459 addresses the details of my problem. It has been suggested the issue is related more to synapse than the bridge itself.

Hi and thanks for your report.

I think I understand how it's a Synapse issue. For the record, in this case it seems to be that the display name shown for a user in the user directory doesn't always match the requester's view of what that username should be, which could end up leaking personal info.
