    For messaging, I recommend Matrix.

    For sailing on the high seas, I think I2P is good.

    Telegram has never been a secure option as you’re granting the keys to your data to third party to the intended recipients. Your data is basically leaked by default to Telegram’s admins.

    I would recommend Signal to replace SMS/MMS and Matrix for IRC/Discord/Telegram.

    please stop pirating using telegram, it’s a messaging service (with some elements of social media), not your cdn

    this shit is run almost for free, from the money durov saved on his school lunches, using it as a cdn will break a good service for everyone, including the vast majority of people who just use it because it’s a good messaging service

        why not

        point is, whatever the source of their money is, it looks like it’s not very renewable at the moment, so the last thing ppl should be doing it exploiting it with stupid applications of it

        how? just because something has the capability to be used in a certain way, doesn’t mean you should abuse it

          You aware if they wanted to stop piracy they would just limit its functionalities right? They know better about their app than anyone here. In any case, that is just another reason why e2e should be default on Telegram.

            limiting functionality to curb piracy would also limit that functionality for regular people, who want to use it for legitimate purposes, which is why i’m asking ppl to please not use telegram for piracy

    Anything that becomes mainstream is gonna be destroyed by the censors. In India Telegram’s existence would be in jeopardy if they don’t follow the stringent rules here.

        No actually, once you register with an Indian number, no matter what server you access it from, it won’t let you access material which are banned in India.

    Don’t need an article to tell you that a service that requires private information (cell phone number) is not interested in your privacy.
