Telegram is a suprisingly good app.

  • Open source clients
  • Decent Linux client on the laptop (whatsapp desktop is just terrible)
  • It can be downloaded without Google's appstore.

I wish other apps were half as good as Telegram.

  • Owned by the Russians

  • Partnered with the ~~CCP~~ Tencent

Hasn't the founder been a vocal critic of Russia for years, including the Ukraine war? I don't really see why that would be a concern, especially since Telegram is supposedly owned by a US LLC

Russia has an army of "vocal critics" who play an important role in the pantomime, you see them on RT regularly. It doesn't prove anything.

Sure, but they were compromised by Russia in June 2020.

Prigo was definitely not against the war.
