Hello fellow pirates! I’m tired of having all the telegram premium ads and antifeatures in the client and I’m looking for a client that removed them even if it’s against the TOS. Any tips? I’d rather use an actual open source fork than a cracked version of the original

I’m looking for both Android and Desktop (Linux)

What I want is to remove the hateful ads in the channels and the “buy premium to unlock these emojis”, and also to be able to arrange the folders in whatever order I like, without being forced to keep the “All messages” as first

thanks in advance!

Oh no, the bad man told me to pay for the privacy service I use instead of freeloading and stealing from them.

It’s one thing to steal shit because it’s unavailable. I think it’s another to steal from a company offering reasonable privacy services competing against Whatsapp. And then you’ll all bitch when it’s only Facebook left. Signal is certainly circling the drain.

Imagine thinking you should be able to use the platform that makes “open source” their whole marketing pitch while locking you into their platform that they have paywalls on, then try to enforce restrictions on how modifications to their “open source” project are allowed to work, for free.

How about using a messenger that isn’t beholden to the good graces of “a company?” XMPP has been around for ages. Setup a server and use it.

Well, if you are to be believed, eventually they won’t have any choice once the other shitty dominoes fall.
