So…there is a concerted campaign, with Musk as its mouthpiece, to discredit Signal and get people to switch to Telegram. It’s disinformation, but there’s also useful information in it. The useful information is that a hideous, powerful, right-wing crank — or whoever’s yanking his chain — really, really wants people to use Telegram.
We’ve long known Telegram’s security is weak. But now, in light of this new information, we should move forward assuming that Telegram is actively compromised.
@inthehands@hachyderm.io could also just be the fact that telegram has nazis in the devteam
@inthehands@hachyderm.io Can we just do an open source Telegram server that has all the features the official ones have, and modify the clients a bit to allow self hosted servers? Cause telegram still has some good user experience.
@inthehands@hachyderm.io telegram is used by facists who think that signal is too "woke"
