#Telegram has a nice and fast UI, granted.

But the 1 billion people using TG are at risk because of its big central database that any state security service craves for. Moreover, several anonymization proxy-bot offerings were hacked in 2024, identifying millions of users and content.

#deltachat builds anonymization directly into the app and has pervasive end-to-end encryption. #chatmail relay operators can sleep well, knowing they have nothing. Ergo, E2EE is good for any operators sleep! :)

I love #deltachat at first-sight few days ago, like I was love #telegram at first sight around twelve years ago.

Only one thing I missed on deltachat now, there's no simple library to create deltachat bot using #nodejs, like telegraf for telegram.

#Telegram #deltachat

How are they talking for 10 minutes, boring me to death, jacking off Durov while calling him evil, not even mentioning that Telegrams "encryption" is effectively meaningless.
Then I stopped watching.
At least they didn't explicitly say encrypted either.

from a random community chat: "#Telegram secret chats exist so you can share your #deltachat QR/link to get off Telegram 😇"

In related news, Arte published a well-done documentary film about "Telegram, the dark empire of Pawel Durov" up (german audio only) arte.tv/de/videos/122721-000-A… -- it's a dive into various TG happenings during the last decades, biographical origins of telegram development, the durov brothers etc..

We are constantly told that the messaging platform Signal is totally secure and benevolent. While Signal may be preferable to the dominant alternatives
