So, I've been arguing with myself over whether I should resurrect my #Telegram account or not. From various sources, I get the impression that their platform isn't all that secure despite their claims. If memory serves, one of the sources said they wouldn't trust it with anything more than a casual conversation, and definitely wouldn't trust it with more sensitive topics. I'm not interested in using #Meta services, so things like #Messenger & #WhatsApp are not options I'd consider. At this point, my messaging options are #Signal and #Matrix even though the latter isn't the most #accessible option. Heck, when you get down to it, the former has a few accessibility annoyances on #Android which is the mobile platform I use. Decisions, decisions...
@sasquatch I wouldn’t recommend Telegram for anything other than lurking on public channels, if you really have to. E2EE is not enabled by default, only works for 1:1 chats, uses home-baked protocol instead of well tested and state of the art alternatives, and the list goes on.
@sasquatch We all started there :) When I first got into Signal, I had a single contact on it. Now, all of my private communication takes place on Signal.
