What is the benefit of Telegram over other platforms like Signal? I haven't been on it in awhile but was quite turned off by all the "HODL!" channels that it seemed to be filled with at the time.
- dont__panic 6y agoA lot of folks like Telegram's UX for private messages and group chats. I've been using it to talk to my friends for years and have no idea about any of the "social" channels. Personally I'd say that's probably not the best thing to to evaluate a messenger client based on -- particularly since Signal completely fails at that criteria since it literally doesn't have any social channels at all.
- Aachen 6y agoI don't have a single chat like that. Like, if you don't want that, don't join cryptocurrency / investment groups? As for the other question, what dont__panic said also goes for me. I'm trying to switch to Signal but it's such a drag compared to tg, the UX is so bad (and it's the best among encrypted messengers that I've found) it's hard to convince even myself let alone whole groups.
