@alternativeto Voilà pourquoi je ne recommande plus depuis longtemps #Telegram.

Depuis que le ou les mécènes on coupé le robinet ils n'ont fait que cherchez à rentabiliser avec 1000 et 1 fonctionnalité farfelus ou dont la pertinent est moyenne ...

Au lieu d'en faire une étape de transition vers un financement inspiré de #Mastodon et #Fediverse.

Peut-être que y'a pas trop le choix pour un aussi gros projet – centralisé –, mais ça me refroidit quand même.

Oon miettinyt taas viime aikoina enemmän, että pitäiskö vaan nukettaa #Telegram, kun se on aina ollut liian hähmäinen taustoiltaan mulle ja käytän sitä pikaviestimistä vähiten. No, Telegram juuri esitteli ns. stooreissaan uusia ominaisuuksia käyttämällä esimerkeissään Tucker Carlsonin haastatteluja, SpaceX:ää ja kryptovaluuttabotteja :joy_animated: silleen joo, pointti tulee perille vähemmälläkin alleviivaamisella, ollaan ajan hengessä innokkaasti mukana, easy delete.

📰 Зустрівся з двопартійною делегацією Сенату США на полях Мюнхенської безпекової конференції

TelegramZelenskiy / OfficialЗустрівся з двопартійною делегацією Сенату США на полях Мюнхенської безпекової конференції. Вдячний за двопартійну підтримку України від самого початку повномасштабного вторгнення, за внесок у захист тисяч життів. Обговорили продовження військової підтримки України та необхідні для досягнення справедливого миру зусилля. РФ не хоче закінчення війни й продовжує збільшувати напругу у світі. Саме тому для України надзвичайно важлива військова підтримка з боку США. Тільки так можна досягти справедливого й тривалого миру. Окремо поспілкувалися про партнерство між Україною та США, зокрема в реалізації спільних проєктів, економічній співпраці та спільному розвитку критичних мінералів і рідкісноземельних ресурсів.

The European Parliament tells staff to use Teams, Cisco, and Signal.

With fears rising about the security of online communications, the European Parliament emailed all its staff on 13 February recommending which tools to use.

The endorsement of Signal could be considered a snub to rival direct-messaging apps such as Whatsapp, Messenger, and Telegram.

For those of you who use Telegram and would like to have a pass time, I have made and still manage a little thing

It's a #Telegram bot #idlegame with multiplayer features. Join the community of your faction and produce more money than the others! t.me/idlebank_alphabot

It features 6 minigames with various degrees of complexity! I'm playing it with a few very affectionate players, about 5-10 daily players.

No installation required, you just play on the chat with the bot, and an initial tutorial will walk through most things!

@maple @ronald With Quicksy, #XMPP can provide the same level of convenience provided by apps like #WhatsApp, #Telegram or #Signal to people who don't accept the complexity of traditional xmpp apps. But unlike those other apps, #Quicksy don't lock you. People who want to talk to Quicksy users can use any XMPP app. I think trying to push our choice of not using phone number on everyone does not help #XMPP adoption. Let people choose if they want to share phone number or not.

@ronald Just my opinion, if you send me a message saying you will only be available to chat on a specific messaging platform, my response is going to be "you'll be missed" and then get on with my life and after a couple weeks I'll probably barely give you a second thought. People do not like feeling they are being strong-armed into doing something that they really have no desire to do.

I actually had this happen with one of my best friends. At the time I was using a private #xmpp server and he decided he wanted to use #Telegram. I didn't much care for Telegram and one of the big reasons was that they required a phone number to sign up (and I imagine that holds many people back from signing up with #Signal, although I realize that in the case of Signal there are workarounds so at least you don't have to use YOUR phone number). And he didn't like xmpp because he could not find a client he liked (and this was several years ago, before all the fucking xmpp clients started refusing to communicate with servers with self-signed certificates, or I am certain that would have been an additional complication. And if I had known then what I know now about Telegram I'd have been even more adamant about not using it. Anyway, net result was after that we pretty much only communicated using plain old email until the day he died, though occasionally he did communicate via xmpp when he remembered how to use whatever client he was using.

Point is, trying to motivate someone to do something by saying "if you don't do this I won't be there" will cause many people to just say (or at least think) "see ya around". It's like the kid who says "if you invite (another friend) to your birthday party I won't come". The correct response to that is always "So sorry to hear that, we'll all miss you" and then end the conversation.

Right now I kind of feel like "a pox on all your houses" when it comes to messaging platforms, they pretty much all suck now, but in different ways. Signal would be great if they would get rid of that telephone number bullshit; if you require a phone number you are NOT a privacy focused application, period and end of story.

Signal und Threema sind für die meisten die sichersten WhatsApp-Alternativen. XMPP, Matrix und Delta Chat bieten mehr Unabhängigkeit, erfordern jedoch mehr technisches Wissen. Telegram wird oft als sicher angepriesen, ist jedoch ein undurchsichtiger Marketing-Scam, der lediglich den Anschein von Sicherheit erweckt. 👇

«5 Ways Delta Chat is Better than WhatsApp, Signal, and Telegram»

No, @delta is not the most secure chat solution per se, but it is definitely an alternative if people send you emails because (for whatever reason) they do not use encrypted communication or use emails like chats.

@Samson, твоя група Telegram - Розслідування це круто, але через те що вона знаходиться в Matrix її не можливо переглядати не маючи обліковки. Було б дуже зручно скидати людям посилання на неї для ознайомлення з усім матеріалом.

У Федіверсі це робити можна, тому може створити групу через fedigroup таку як @rada. Як це зробити писав @zen тут. Я думаю що хтось з адмінів українських екземплярів погодився б запустити на своєму сервері невеликий скрипт.

@mastodonmigration Obligatory reminder that #Signal relies on a centralized and proprietary server, and does not belong here.

Users of #WhatsApp #Telegram #Discord #Signal and #Threema etc should use #XMPP instead, which is #FreeSoftware and federated.

Users - check out #Quicksy (Android and iOS), #Prav, #Conversations, #Cheogram, #MonoclesChat, #Gajim, #Movim, #Monal...

Self-hosters, check out #Snikket.
