Telegram's communities are extremely lucrative Whether you created entire country dividing conspiracies just to sell some Q-labeled coffee mugs to the follower

  It seems like a much more prolific version of Discord, where the focus is clearly on large groups, and it handles this surprisingly well. I’m not sure why people used to draw comparisons with Signal, to be honest, given that anecdotally virtually no one uses Telegram with E2EE, and its implementation of it is remarkably crippled.

    IMO mostly because Telegram is a daily driver for many to keep in touch with friends and family. Just like signal but with more fancy functions. While discord still is a weird gaming community, more along to a teamspeak server. I also don't have exact numbers but private chats are heavily used in some parts of telegram (mainly the grey or black markets)

      Discord if you need sub discussions in the same community. Most communities don’t need that, so telegram is good enough for them. There is alot of crossdrift, on crypto telegram nobody cares if they are currently browsing discord or telegram
