    Durov should change his last name to Durakov ("durak" is "fool" in Russian)! He wanted to show off with his girl-for-hire and got himself imprisoned after so many years of being cautious! Or maybe "Dickoff" would suit him better! Nobody trusts Telegram now because they got him by the balls!

      I'm surprised anyone trusted Telegram to begin with, as it has never, ever been secure, especially not on desktop.

      It was not secure, it was only pretty and feature-rich, I guess.

    Take this as a kind reminder that Telegram is scum.

    Alternatives include Matrix[0] and SimpleX[1].

    0. https://matrix.org/

    1. https://simplex.chat/

      lol anything that is connected to the grid / satellites is identical

      Reminder that simplex will put forward censorship measures for CSAM (as per their "declaration of war to CSAM"), and some people say it's a violation of E2EE.
