i don't see the need to switch to signal when telegram is already a really good desktop/mobile app

feel free to convince me otherwise, though. but i'm not sure any of my telegram friends are gonna switch to signal.

HELL, one of them only uses telegram cause its the only non-FB chat app that works on a windows phone (don't laugh)

@sc main problem people have with telegram is two-fold:

a) heavy ownership by someone with a lot of ties to Russian government
b) proprietary encryption

if you don't care if someone (whether it be russian government or a hacker who cracked the encryption) can potentially access your conversations then that's fine just don't trust that any messages you send are fully secure

@sc other than that i found telegram really nice bc their stickers are really great but security was one of the main reasons i was switching to begin with
