As long as the Russian government is able to keep funding it? :)

  Be nice if Americans could make something this good again. Have you seen WhatsApp lately? It's a pure travesty.

    Is it? Granted, I've only been using it for three years but... its hasn't really changed that whole time? It's fine?

    I like whatsapp a lot, personally. The stickers aren't as good as Telegram, though.

    They already have and it is called Quill. [0] Works on web, macOS, Windows, Linux, iOS, and Android and already looks promising to be the diamond standard of chat software and compete against the alternatives. Impressive piece of extremely high quality software so rare in this software industry. [0] https://quill.chat https://quill.chat

      Holy s*t this looks amazing. Our (multi-disciplinary) team has been struggling with Zulip, which adopts the threaded messaging paradigm we need, but has a face only an engineer could love. This looks like it could be a drop-in replacement without the UX quirks. Thanks for the rec.

  I believe the owner/founder was kicked out of Russia. It was also banned in Russia for a while, at least they tried banning it.

  Any strong evidence of this? I mean actual links or investigations proving that? Or are you deliberately spreading unsubstantiated claims?

    Strong evidence? Good luck with that. However, if a service costs millions per month to even exist and yet it is free to use, something does not add up. Or do you honestly believe that there is such thing as “free lunch”?

  Can you please at least read the first paragraph of wikipedia before making allegations? Russian government hates telegram with a passion

    Telegram is free. Who pays for it and why?
