From a UI/UX perspective, Telegram is a great messenger. I just wish they didn't try using their own protocol with MTProto and instead embraced a wider, more well-respected one. As well as, set every message to be e2ee. We'll see how this IPO goes. Unlike reddit, Telegram is more of a tangible product, so I expect it to do a bit better. But a shame that they also have their own shitcoin. Usually a signal the company is fixated on growth and that's when features and support decline.
