This has been puzzling me for a long time: why are we still using Telegram, especially why are we using Telegram groups?!

It’s now common knowledge that Telegram groups do not offer end-to-end encryption. Isn't this enough to consider switching to one of the many alternative platforms that do offer end-to-end encryption?

I don’t care much about the controversy surrounding Telegram’s founder Pavel Durov, or the total lack of transparency that characterizes the company behind it.

I’m especially surprised by bitcoiners! 😩

I would expect them to stay as far as possible from the most important platform for scammer, shitcoiners, airdroppers, rugpullers, … Instead, even reputable, competent, and honest bitcoiners use Telegram regularly (to plan meetups, for online courses, to share educational material, …)
