Security with fewer features is still useful; features without security are unusable.
- newscracker 9y agoSeriously, I can't sell this to others. Getting people to use another platform is extremely difficult due to network effects and laziness. As I said above, I spent a lot of my personal capital to move some people to Telegram and they haven't regretted it because of the features (which I also tell them about). Without richer features and without large marketing and advertising budgets, any of these will only be niche platforms. I'm still waiting for Signal to come closer to being relevant, as per my expectations, before moving to it and pushing some others to move to it. But every time I look at a new release and compare, Telegram still seems about a year or more ahead.
