Should we switch over to from whatsapp to telegram.org?
Telegram app (telegram.org) is apparently is safer and more open than WhatsApp. If we really care about open communication such important infrastructure should really not be a service but more of a protocol. It should never be worth as much as Facebook paid for it.

- desipenguin 13y agoDisclaimer : I'm neither of Whatsapp not Telegram (I resisted being on FB for longest time, even now - I occasionally visit FB) I think importance of "Social Networks" is based on the user base. So while security is important - if you are the only person on such social network, what does it matter ? You can't "share stuff" cause there aren't enough people there. So moving to telegram makes sense only when enough of "your friends/family/relatives" are there.
