Gregory's ServerTelegram worries
Telegram was always my favorite messenger, as it provided a fast and user-friendly experience on multiple devices. But one and a half years ago, I already started doubting my decision to rely on Telegram.
Now I question it even more.
With the latest release, Telegram introduces an in-app browser, which is also enabled by default. With it they push “Web3” and “TON”-based websites. Recently they also already introduced more features with “TON” and “stars” integration. In my eyes, so much crypto bullshit.
And “Mini Apps”. Is Telegram becoming the new WeChat?
I really need to think about an alternative…
But messaging and other social apps don't work like that. You don't get to choose them the same way you choose your OS and other products you use personally. You'll have to convince everyone else to switch too. That's the only reason Facebook is still popular.
A better solution would be to build a Telegram client that doesn't implement the features you don't like.
