- DyslexicAtheist 5y agoproblem is that it's Telegram. Telegram wants to appeal to security minded folk but their crypto is snakeoil so the only people who use it for "sEcUriTy" are crypto bros and ISIS recruiters. Apart from being "herbalife cryptography", telegram doesn't roll out security patches. Instead security fixes are bundled within the regular release process, so the new version is always a mixed bag of new features and fixes.

- core-utility 5y agoTelegram seems to have put themselves in a weird spot. Seeing which of my contacts sign up for telegram and/or signal, Telegram has definitely won in terms of market adoption. They saw the opportunity after anger with WhatsApp and decided to be the new WhatsApp platform. "We might not be the best at security, but at least we're not Facebook"
