Telegram makes communication easier

[Miner21]

I agree. Telegram has some serious issues. People dont take their security seriously there either

I've found a pretty complete list of alternatives so I'll share it:

XMPP (https://xmpp.org/)
NextCloud (https://nextcloud.com/talk/)
Jami (https://jami.net/)
Briar (https://briarproject.org/)
Tox (https://tox.chat/)
Kontalk (https://kontalk.org/)
Delta Chat (https://delta.chat/)
Bitmessage (https://bitmessage.org/)
Ricochet (https://www.ricochetrefresh.net/)
Status (http://status.im/)
Scuttlebot (https://scuttlebot.io/)
Session (https://getsession.org/) has not had an E2E audit completed yet, but not a bad choice
ȱ (https://github.com/xn-nma/)
Protocol for SYnchronous Conferencing (PSYC) (https://about.psyc.eu/PSYC)

I'm a bit suspicious about Matrix (https://www.hackea.org/notas/matrix.html).

CAUTION: peer-to-peer communications reveal one's IP address to each other, so using a reliable VPN, proxy, or TOR is advised. Briar is an exception to this rule, as it uses either Bluetooth range or the local network it's connected to; else all traffic goes through TOR. Ones without servers are ideal, such as: Jami, Tox, Ricochet, Status, Scuttlebot, ȱ, and PSYC-2. Some are still in development and may be prone to bugs.

I do not understand why people on these forums use this piece of shit app.
I got to get a fucking phone (burner). That costs money.
Get a residential proxy or get a sim under another name.
buy a phone number or use sim.
AND THEN sign in on the DESKTOP APP??

all this just to fucking sign up.
why?
WHY DO WE EVEN USE THIS.

Now it's almost fucking impossible to sign up for this piece of shit app and everyone wants to talk there.

As a cummonity we need to find an alternative to telegram, which there is, but why stick with this one?

Living data center for the feds

If we could all choose another app which app would it be? I think telegram is convenient because there is a large community using it. You can find everything you need but it is not the best for communication. Especially in channels with many members it is almost impossible to follow any discussions. In terms of security it is as good as social media can be - not much.

Why is this hysterical? Use something else if you have such problems with Telegram
