Telegram isn't a messaging service. It's a social network with a messenger UI. Quite ingenious, if you'd ask me, but a social network and a private messenger can't really be reconciled into a single product.
- AnonHP 3y agoWhat would you classify Signal as, with its stickers, cryptocurrency (MobileCoin), etc.?
- hunter2_ 3y agoI think "social" in this context refers to frictionless friend finding, not stickers. Good privacy involves a certain level of friction, with PGP verification being a classic example of the UX problem space.
- snotrockets 3y agoSignal is one-to-one or many-to-many. Telegram is mostly few-to-many.
