minus-squareSr Estegosauriolinkfedilink16•1 year agoTelegram is as bad as Whatsapp. It does not even have E2EE (or the pseudo-crap that was offers). At the end of the day I do not trust them and I think that both of them suck.
minus-squareSr Estegosauriolinkfedilink7•1 year agoThey use a pretty questionable implementation tho. And secret chats are incrodibly limited + not by default.
minus-square@angarabebesiOPlinkfedilink3•1 year agoTelegram has an Open Source client, WhatsApp doesn’t. That’s one huge difference there.
minus-squareSr Estegosauriolinkfedilink5•1 year agoNot really, the service stils centralised and is not even OS. You can not even trust the service. The client does not matter that much in comparison. Whatsapp sucks too.
minus-square@angarabebesiOPlinkfedilink4•1 year agoI agree, Matrix is better because it is decentralized. But Telegram is clearly better than WhatsApp and Facebook.
