I don't really get either of these comments. No one should be using telegram for anything other than a discord clone, and of course the shady turds will gravitate to privacy-focused messaging apps. I mean presumably that's why the turds chose telegram initially, they just fucked up the due diligence and thought telegram was secure because they credulously believed the founder dude who folded under state pressure.
It would be nice if the first publicity it got wasn't for being the choice of Nazis. I don't like that if I mention to a coworker that I use it, there's going to be that question of "wait, is this guy secretly a white supremacist".
Nobody did any due diligence... They heard the marketing and that it.
