Hello fellow pirates! I’m tired of having all the telegram premium ads and antifeatures in the client and I’m looking for a client that removed them even if it’s against the TOS. Any tips? I’d rather use an actual open source fork than a cracked version of the original

I’m looking for both Android and Desktop (Linux)

What I want is to remove the hateful ads in the channels and the “buy premium to unlock these emojis”, and also to be able to arrange the folders in whatever order I like, without being forced to keep the “All messages” as first

thanks in advance!

    Nope, fuck companies like telegram. Just another ghoul trying to profit off the backs of open source developers. Signal is owned by a non-profit, so not sure what kind of “support” you are speaking of, but the desktop app is electron trash, so it’s right out for me.

    Also, one of those things is not like the others. RCS is a 3GPP standard, the infrastructure to run already being paid for by my wireless bill. I would prefer people use it to talk to me.

      Doesn’t it depend exclusively on Google?

        Carriers can setup their own infrastructure if they wish, it’s just that many are content to let Google deal with it. This isn’t RCS’s (or Google’s, for that matter) fault.
