            No I think you are just stupid. I’m not even American lol. What does this have to do with racism? I don’t care about the nationality or ethnicity of the developers, but about the country from which the company operates or has ties to.

          Telegram has Russian developers, but I would expect that it sells data to everyone complies to some other jurisdiction

      Ok, I see. Telegram tries to combine Discord, WhatsApp and WeChat, but it isn’t a great replacement for either of them.

      Discord has groups, chanels, threaded conversations, allows you to mute people, great support for bots, folders, etc. Signal is much better for private chats though, it has a very secure encryption protocol and enables E2EE by default and is very focused on privacy in general. Btw Signal also allows scheduling messages. I tried Telegram for both groups/chanels and private chats and I found it really annoying to have my groups and channels in the same app as my normal conversations. Just use Signal and Discord/Matrix/Revolt.

        I get it. That’s why I use Plus messenger. It’s a better, more customisable UI. Private chats, groups and channels are on a different page, if you want it.

        Unfortunately I use Discord, WhatsApp, Signal, Element (Matrix) and SimpleX all combined because my contacts are spread out. Looking forward to secure interoperability.

          Plus Messenger looks proprietary. You might be interested in Beeper once it’s released, it let’s you use all your messaging platforms in one app. And it’s supposed to be secure and open-source.

            I’m on the waiting list. I hope they get e2ee sorted out.
