Why Avoid Telegram for XMR Trading? (Video) (video.simplifiedprivacy.com)

Telegram is adopted widely by the “crypto community”. But Monero should not be apart of this, as it’s a centralized platform doing zero metadata protection and only encrypted on mobile. Here’s an excellent video you can send your friends who request you to message them on there: https://video.simplifiedprivacy.com/why-telegram-sucks/

It is best to avoid Telegram for any purpose.

Best place for XMR trading is AgoraDesk/LocalMonero

[-] ShadowRebel@monero.town 5 points 1 year ago

Right. But Agoradesk/LocalMonero uses Telegram for their customer support because they and their customers are ignorant of the concepts in this video

Localmonero uses matrix too for those who want it

Unfortunately, many cash by mail Monero sellers leave their contact info as a telegram address on their intro page. I wish they would all have to leave an protonmail email address or some other way to contact them using Tor.

I'm already in the group, it's great! SimpleX is private in a very unique way

Feel free the share the group join link far and wide. As far as I am concerned, the more Monero enthusiasts in there, the better.

Cool, git two in today.. will push a little. So far, I like the chat app and the group ;)

Ah, Telegram: where end-to-end encryption is a "special feature" for secret chats and not the standard for all. How... private.

Then avoid X, Reddit or Discord. You need to be in different channels to teach and trade with people about Monero.
