I see i can find a foss version on f-droid, and that’s something not a lot of social networks can have, i don’t really like all the crypto bullshit and ads testing they’ve been up to lately, but still looks better to me compared to what Reddit have done lately or what other platforms have done in these years…

I don’t know about their privacy feature, but i wouldn’t trust their chat as for as far as i knew they were not end to end encrypted some time ago (except for secret chats).

Anyway it still looks like one of the at least still decent platforms out there, or am i wrong?

    I put it in the same boat as WhatsApp. Better than SMS, but I’ll be sticking to Signal.

      I’d put it below Whatsapp, which encrypts all messages end-to-end by default (but still mines metadata), while Telegram requires you to specifically start a secure chat for that, which doesn’t even work for groups.

      Telegram for chatting purpose is a bad idea. If you wanna use it for your favourite groups and channels for updates, then it’s fine.
