    I don’t mind paying a fair price, for a service, so they should go for it. I use both Signal and Telegram, and I would pay for Telegram too, if the price was more fair…

        Feel free to list them - with evidence and not just prejudice…?

          1. No end-to-end encryption by default, you have to explicitly start a secret chat. That means that instead of it all being encrypted noise, secret chats stand out.
          2. Servers are not open source (last time I checked). Why not? Seriously, why not?
          3. Admittedly, not much of an issue any more, but in the beginning they had horrible security (so did WhatsApp until Facebook threw some competent engineers at the problem)

            There’s end-to-end encryption. It’s fine that you can chose what needs to be private, and what doesn’t need to be.

            There could be several reasons as to why the servers are not OS. Why do you need that part to be OS? Seriously, why?

            Oh, so your problem with Telegram is, that it had some issues in the past, just like EVERY other app in the beginning? Nice one. :-)

            So, let’s summarize.

            1. You lie, and say that there’s no end-to-end encryption when there is.
            2. It would be preferable to have OS servers, but it’s not a major issue, since everything else is.
            3. You have an issue with something in “Back to the Future”… Which is no longer an issue.

              Woot?! (not op),

              1. He said “no e2e by default” which is true. Straw man/missrepresentation
              2. You post on the fediverse, which is decentral - why shouldn’t you want this for telegram too? Open source server would allow to check / trust code, host your own, be more resilient against central attacks/malicious intend. Also you just waved it away saying it is not a biggy - maybe to you.
              3. Last time I checked telegram still has major trust issues for me. No way to know how much governments are involved, code is not independently checked for security (happy to be proven wrong on especially the last one)

              Its totally fine that you like telegram, but you can do that while acknowledging others preferences

        You contradict yourself. You can’t say that the price is fair, for something that doesn’t have the features that the price should cover.
