@rysiek You might reconsider the part "Telegram vs Signal". Signal does not offer functionalities that are used by most users of Telegram. There is only "one small feature" in a "big Telegram shop" that can be replaced by Signal. The funny part is, that feature is not used by most users.

@stamberry the whole point of this piece is that:

1. Telegram bills itself as "encrypted IM" (which it is not)

2. Telegram constantly compares itself to Signal on security and privacy, claiming Signal is less secure and private (which is also false).

I do believe it's fair game to take Telegram to task on this.

If Telegram wants to not be compared unfavourably to Signal on secure IM features, it is welcome to stop comparing itself to Signal on secure IM features. 🤷‍♀️

@rysiek When you write a text about Telegram, you represent yourself, not "Telegram marketing team".
If today, you say "Signal is better than Telegram", to people who use Telegram, to join "groups" and "channels" with some kind of info, are you clarifying confusion or just adding to it?
What will they think, if they follow your advice?

@stamberry I am sure you asked very similar questions of Telegram's and Durov's social network accounts when they were misrepresenting Signal.

After all, I am merely *representing* Telegram, while Telegram was outright *misrepresenting* Signal.

I would not dare to imagine you not having enough integrity to do so. So I am eager to hear what they had to say to your valid points. Care to link to the thread?
