Looks like they feel threatened by Telegram growth, which means Telegram is doing quite well.
- jszymborski 11y agoAll they need to do to supplant Telegram (at the very least for my use-case) is to have a decent desktop app, preferably native. Their current web interface (is that still active?) is a UX nightmare. Of course it's "for the sake of encryption" but it comes at the cost of adoption.
- theshrike79 11y agoAlso Telegram has built-in bot support, which is a big plus in my book.
- pfg 11y agoTelegram doesn't do end-to-end crypto by default, and uses home-baked crypto which has many weaknesses[1]. I like it as a platform (for their Bot API, Channels and Groups), but I don't like their security mentality. [1]: https://eprint.iacr.org/2015/1177.pdf https://eprint.iacr.org/2015/1177.pdf
