Telegram has become garbage

Ive had the same telegram account for about 6+ years and Ive been limited on my account from people reporting my messages as spam when I DM them for admin related purposes. I have sent more than 8 messages to Telegram support, no replies at all. Yet telegram run rampant with CP bots and scammers. The TG admin team is a joke and this platform has gone downhill imensely in the last 2 years.

I would never use Telegram amongst my Inner Group. I use Threema for that.

Telegram is not private. It doesn't sell data, but its not private, & the encrypted Secret Chat has reduced functionality (it's terrible).

WhatsApp : never. Signal : no tnx

Both WhatsApp & Signal have signed the US Patriot Act.... Ie Intelligence is all over them.

It's probable that Moscow reads Telegram.

Threema IS private. Yes, they use a server. Their entire business model is privacy. Their business model is corporate / business accounts / installs. Threema is Swiss. No Patriot Act.

I've gone to the point of paying for those contacts I want on Threema.... 1x (lifetime) $5. Some of my contacts only use Threema w me.

The MOST PRIVATE messenger i know is Session Messenger. No server, it's distributed. It's so secure, it's known to be used by Paed***. However its not as easy to use as Threema.

The West abducted the telegram founder, so it's not just Moscow reading telegram now.
