Telegram Demands All Bot Developers to Sell Paid Features Using Its New Currency
Telegram is sending out messages to bot developers, requiring them to start accepting payments for digital goods only through Telegram API in "Stars" currency. They explain this decision was made due to pressure from Apple.
Worst part that has nothing to do with Apple — all payouts will be done in TON cryptocurrency. And some other iffy decisions.
Aufpassen müsst ihr weiterhin, wenn ihr ausvershen auf #Telegram seid.
Auf keinen Fall diesen Bot anschreiben: https://t.me/scihubot
Nicht, dass ihr noch ausversehen hinter die #Paywall kommt!
• I've actually had an easier time keeping up with Slack than in Slack itself
• Initially I ran clients side by side but Beeper updates just as fast and I've since stopped running most except for Discord which I use for calls
• Even so, it's great to run it in parallel to Discord, because it's easier to text chat in Beeper while in a video call
so tired of #signal app. How can I criticize it when I’ve never used it I would like to use it. I would like to use it very much. However I don’t own a smart phone. Which means I can’t register a desktop app which intern means I can’t use signal as even trying to create a virtual I machine running, android to download the mobile app to register my desktop app. Which failed. I don’t care how much you improve it until you’re actually inclusive. Signal is not a good app. You might also want to think about who are the people they don’t have access to their own smart phone. Think about other ways for users to register without a smart phone please. (running macos desktop)

fuck #telegram why people think is secure? beats me, but here watch minute 7:16 https://vid.puffyan.us/watch?v=pjseaH7eX44 and STOP using telegram and whatsup!! :D use matrix or at least signal if your friends need something easy to use but matrix is the way.
Something tells me #Telegram aren't dealing with their telegraph #spam problem. Most spam i'm receiving lately contains these #telegraph links. I don't even know if there's a way to report them.
I have telegram because it was really easy to set up a bot and a bash script to send messages to it-basically my own little notifications app. But it’s also the only thing I use telegram for. What’s a good alternative? Free and open source preferred. Self hosting as well
Der Messenger #Telegram ist für eine sichere Kommunikation nicht geeignet - standardmäßig sind die Nachrichten nicht einmal Ende-zu-Ende verschlüsselt. Besser geeignet sind #Signal oder #Threema. Übrigens: Elon Musk ist das Paradebeispiel eines Trolls. Einfach ignorieren. 😉
#ISW, May 8 assessment: "Reports indicate that there is an available open-source tool that allows people to search by specific coordinates for Telegram users who have enabled a certain location-sharing setting."
But of course there is. The russian-engineering, roll-your-own-crypto, cryptocoin-shilling, encrypted-but-not-encrypted messaging app to have a zero-day exploited privacy flaw exposing users' location? I can't imagine where such failures would come from.
Offenbar gibt es gerade eine sehr aggressive Kampagne durch um Aktivist:innen dazu zu bringen, von #Signal nach #Telegram zu wechseln. Es wird unterstellt, dass Signal nicht sicher sei.
Telegram ist grundsätzlich NICHT vollständig verschlüsselt. Die Betreiber haben Zugriff auf die Inhalte aller Gruppen, Kanäle und normalen Chats, wenn nicht ausdrücklich der sichere Chat gewählt wurde.
“Telegram has launched a pretty intense campaign to malign Signal as insecure, with assistance from Elon Musk” | @matthew_d_green
> Pavel Durov, the CEO of Telegram, has recently been making a big conspiracy push to promote Telegram as more secure than Signal. This is like promoting ketchup as better for your car than synthetic motor oil. Telegram isn’t a secure messenger, full stop. That’s a choice Durov made.
Tiens, tiens... Ça fait écho à mon pwet ci-dessus ⤴️
« Telegram a lancé une campagne assez intense pour dénigrer #Signal en le qualifiant d'insécurisé, avec l'aide d'Elon Musk. L'objectif semble être d'inciter les activistes à abandonner le système crypté Signal au profit de #Telegram, qui est en grande partie non crypté. »
Honestly have no idea why Telegram is popular with so many Plebs. There are so many reasons to not use Telegram (a centralized platform):
All the comm leaks, the false sense of security their copywriting suggests (not e2ee by default), banning users, collecting user metadata, bot access to your ID and metadata, storing your data on 3rd party servers...using their own proprietary e2ee protocol, MTProto with a history of security flaws, the list goes on and on...
I strongly suggest avoiding it if you value your privacy and security.
