Yeah, it is weird how articles about Telegram in mainstream press try to paint it as some kind of trusted privacy service.

Has Telegram PR department been briefing press in this way?

@FediThing @simonboggis yes. Media is basically parroting Telegram's marketing language without giving it a second thought.

@rysiek @FediThing @simonboggis Plus they have a cult of toxic fans who "correct" anyone who tries to set the record straight...

@kkarhan @rysiek @FediThing @simonboggis That hasn't been my experience. Signal users who like it also complain about the phone number thing all the time and want it fixed. Rather than lying that it has security properties it doesn't.

@dalias @rysiek @FediThing @simonboggis OFC, the comparison isn't fair towards @signalapp , abeit their #Shitcoin #Scam called #MobileCoin and "selected availability" of it disqualifies them too.

- It's just unnecessary #bloat and unlike #Monero it's neither available anywhere nor privacy-friendly!

@dalias @kkarhan @rysiek @FediThing @simonboggis I can conccur. I like signal but I will openly say there's improvements to be made.
And I wouldn't be surprised if something else takes it's place at some point.

I mean there's even a fork of their client called Molly that provides more features.
There's session, there's Briar, ...
But I like signal, I hope they improve. The username is a nice step in the right direction.
