Telegram has "channels" though which are similar to Facebook pages (but with no comments/likes).
"Channels are a tool for broadcasting public messages to large audiences. In fact, channels can have an unlimited number of members. When you post in a channel, the message is signed with the channel's name and not yours. You can appoint additional administrators to help you manage the channel. New members can see the entire message history in a channel once they join."

- mtgx 8y agoIt may be time for signal to adopt channels too even if they can't guarantee too much privacy due to the nature of the medium itself. But channels/rooms/groups have always been popular and will likely continue to be. They need the feature just to get more people to use private messaging as they join the app. Signal also needs to stop depending on phone numbers for usernames.
- avaika 8y ago"Likes" are possible if you create channel messages via bots. Well, it's a kind of enhanced like. It's called reaction, you can predefine one or several smiles / text entries and channel readers can vote for it under the post. Some bots have convenient option to schedule posts or create self-destroyed messages and lots of other functions. Comments are also possible via external bots. The discussion isn't really inside telegram though. But navigation in channel is pain. Especially if you want to jump into the beginning where was no pinned message and channel has long history. And when you subscribe for many channels it becomes a nightmare to segregate channels and users. They need to improve that experience.
