And he is right. If you want e2e use signal, threema, or OTR/OMEMO.
The majority of telegram users want convenient messaging, group chats, news channels and voice group calls. Think slack with a fast native app.
- scubbo 6y ago> news channels I love getting glimpses of how other people use certain apps. I can't imagine _wanting_ news in my messaging app - that's what my news app is for! Very valuable reminder that our own perspective is not always widespread.
- t-writescode 6y agoI mostly see the news feed tool used for art.
- rajinikantham 6y agoIf you're interested in these, you should take a look at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WeChat#Features https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WeChat#Features !
- jtsiskin 6y agoWow that’s... everything?
- ffpip 6y agoEven I hated those things in my messenger app. Until this happened https://instantview.telegram.org/ https://instantview.telegram.org/ Instant View is so fast (and private) i'm never reading articles any other way.

- solstice 6y agoThe only thing missing from signal among the things you listed is news, no?
- rhn_mk1 6y agoDoes wanting any of this automatically mean wanting e2e is wrong or invalid?
- alwaysdoit 6y agoNo, but it's automatically the right tradeoff for everyone. Security measures are always a tradeoff between convenience and security. Not everyone's tradeoffs work out evenly. Sometimes backups are a more important risk to mitigate than government surveillance.
- rhn_mk1 6y ago> it's automatically the right tradeoff for everyone That can be only true if there is no tradeoff. A tradeoff by definition is a situation where the optimum depends on individual preferences.
