It was a many months transition, and it’s finally done

Fun thing, you can actually make a backup of all* your messages, groups, contacts, etc. So before leaving you can have all of your data in case you need that one contact or something

The final red flag was as that allegedly Russian authorities were messing with people’s deleted messages. Not for the first time there are news that they could read, modify, delete, see location, and etc. Screw it, this is unsafe, I’m out.

Also, these days telegram is really at the state of a pile of garbage, bloated, buggy, and shady messenger.

Dude, are you even Russian yourself to claim this?

As a Russian person, Russian oppositionist, and formerly a drug dealer, I can say that you wouldn’t use telegram for anything that needs security, since like the start of tg

Just come to Russia, register with your name two Sim cards, create telegram accounts, and message yourself that you want to blow up Kremlin. You will have FSB standing behind your door very shortly

For the very brave, no VPN, no secret chats, see ya

Edit: this was your third comment on Lemmy, and only one post, so I really doubt that you will ever do something. Also, comparing tg and wa is so Durov

Hi there, tbh I forgot what my comment was before I deleted it. You probably just answered yourself in this post :)

But yeah for security I don’t prefer Telegram or any Android app and I use Telegram the most on Android because I like the way it is. No Secret Chat really, are you sure about that lol
