Telegram are being paid by xAI to use their product? Isn’t it supposed to be the other way around?
I’m guessing the money flows in this direction because telegram actually has users.
The users must ask themselves if they’re the product, fucking Musk is paying for access to them.
You should be using Signal anyway.
I think Telegram is more of a social media than a messenger.
What, like Instagram kind of thing?
Not really. It just group chats and some are used as news feeds.
Its one of those terrible UX where people force a tool to do something it’s not supposed to like Discord for forums etc.
Its basically used for piracy and drug markets for tech illiterate but somehow caught on.
There goes my telegram account. Bye, you won’t be missed
I don’t know why people stuck with it. I’ve used it; I get that a lot of the initial success/hype was:
- It’s not owned by Meta
- “Putin hates Durov!”
- “Unlimited” storage (lots of people using it as free cloud storage, which is dumb if you value your files)
But your messages are not E2EE by default (only “Secret Chats”, which aren’t synced across devices)…Telegram (the organization) could always read your messages. I said this so many times and got called everything under the sun.
“Why would they care about my messages though?” ------> Because $300 Million.
This. The second Premium landed I was out, and it was slipping long before that.
great advertisement for signal
So, a software that is owned by US politician is working together with software that has links to Russian government?
Federal government threatened Telegram and demanded a backdoor a while back, iirc.
So you’re telling me that Grok is so bad that they have to pay developers to integrate it? How backwards. People are willing to pay for Grok’s competitors.
ew wtf, Telegram has been one of the less shittified ones :c

Long overdue :)
Agreed, but which one has easy to use bots and integration into the *arr apps? I used telegram to send notifications about new movies and episodes.
