What we can do now is stop using it and advice family and friends not to also.

i already barely even remember most of the time that i have it on my phone... i don't use it on even a weekly basis

i just rid myself of it a few days ago. ill jjust cobble together something similar in matrix chat 🤷‍♂️ cant keep using that scammy shit anymore

Simplex 5.8 is out

Still can’t get simplex to consistently work. Definitely has promise but needs to be way easier.

What problems do you have?

Yeah, it's still not here I agree. I would also say that Matrix is morr appropriate for public or semi-public groups like most people use on Telegram.

The article is super interesting and I agree that Telegram is really bad and as I said just a day ago I think, I have no idea why so many Bitcoin groups like meetup still insist on using it.

However, as I understand, the breached data are not coming from Telegram, they are exchanged by individuals within groups on Telegram and due to the poor security of Telegram some people manage to access they groups and the files exchanged on them.

Did I understood this correctly?

Just gotta nuke it and move on. It’s the LinkedIn of messaging apps: feels like it’s needed, but virtually no signal.
