TELEGRAM IS SPYWARE. DELETE IT.
YES SIR
AND USE WHAT NOSTR-BASED ALTERNATIVE SIR?
THERE IS A NIP FOR PUBLIC CHATS BUT I DON'T THINK MANY CLIENTS IMPLEMENTED IT https://nostr-nips.com/nip-28
DOES NOT EXIST YET BUT @JeffG WILL MAKE IT HAPPEN. UNTIL THEN SIGNAL / SIMPLEX / MATRIX / THREEMA ARE SOLID.
I like sessions. Am i the only one? Its basically a telegram replacement.
Never heard of it tbh.
😶🌫️they hide in plain sight so it can be hard to know. Xxmp though has been around a long time, im not entirely sure but I think he's one of the chair for bluesky
BEEN DID THAT 🫡
Yes. Any app that doesn't allow you to change from their default servers is bad. nostr:nevent1qqsfqr92ze0082pdahh64ynmtnjtlnfc2lq38g967nccrvxqahem44qpz3mhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuerpd46hxtnfdupzqpxfzhdwlm3cx9l6wdzyft8w8y9gy607tqgtyfq7tekaxs7lhmxfqvzqqqqqqyncneak
Keet 😉 Need a vpn if youre worried about the other end knowing your IP, but fully p2p
Also not open source yet. But still cool af 😂
Source?
So, how am I supposed to use @lnp2pBot without Telegram? It might be spyware, but right now it's undeniably useful unfortunately. Is there a way to port lnp2pbot to Keet, or some other p2p app?
I don't think true P2P will ever work out for messaging, encrypted messages being sent via relays is fine. lnp2pbot should build on top of (currently very bad) Nostr DMs or SimpleX instead
Telegram has cost me so much. And helped me troubleshoot bitcoin tech but overall I hate it

I'VE TRIED SUGGESTING ALTERNATIVES TO MY GROUPS AND THEY WONT BUDGE
Simplex ✅️
Kinda hate simplex. Idk what it is.
APPLE OS AND GOOGLE ANDROID TOO 😱😱😱
it's only OK for public discussion. whatever you consider private don't do there (including obfuscating your identity)
Ever been.
Signal is spyware too, since the CIA backdoored it (it wasn't discovered until 2019 in the Android repo).
@ODELL Recommendations on alternative(s)?
ICQ
Leo, is ICQ shutting down ?
Sorry, it was a bad joke. ICQ shut down already.
I'm doing this thanks
Everybody says so, but so far I didn't see any realistic proof, other, that it's "russian guy" behind. There is of course some concerns, lot of spam and frauds (well, when Nostr hit's majority user, guess what happens here), but I can hardly find so well supported and community used alternative. It is what it is.
Not sure I'd call #Telegram a spyware per se, but despite a pretty good UI/UX, it is very bad on so many aspects 😣 Nothing is E2E encrypted by default, DM, groups (groups never are, on Telegram). And rule number one of cryptography is: you do NOT roll out your own crypto!!! Too bad it's so convenient. We need good alternatives ASAP. nostr:nevent1qqsfqr92ze0082pdahh64ynmtnjtlnfc2lq38g967nccrvxqahem44qpzpmhxue69uhkummnw3ezuamfdejsygqyey2a4mlw8qchlfe5g39vacus4qnflevppv3yre0xm56rm7lveypsgqqqqqqsy3c46l
well, that's just fucking great. I'm not feeling bullish on this shit lately. every time i turn around i feel another tug at a rug.
I agree... Thinking of starting an in the woods meetup, no fucking electronics within 1 mile of the meeting. I'm sick of this shit.
Most essential bitcoin related groups are there.
For example? I was under the impression they were on XTwitter.
Unfortunately
YOUR SMARTPHONE IS A SPYWARE THROW IT 🚮
Can I shitpost first?
alternative??
simplex chat.
I agree and would love to, unfortunately a lot of Bitcoin communities are on Telegram with no alternative like e.g. Simplex.
For my app I've added a SimpleX fullly anon channel alongside the existing Telegram one (and nostr of course) https://chat.frankie-gpt.com/public/help

only shitcoin scammers still use telegram.
i use it not for chatting but for piracy. Books, class courses, etc. Is there any alternative for this?
So that reaction is about this : https://image.nostr.build/cab54f428f8172265c0399fee7d55ad66c50634d10a38320a2f4b926c54e0d4e.jpg
TG is the best messenger out there. Anyone who thinks that they can make normies using Signal or Simplex for privacy, security or virtues reasons is delusional.
Awesome! Just gotta nuke google now for nextcloud/onlyoffice. Nuke discord for nostr, maybe some matrix and session too. Nuke twitter, insta and fedbook for nostr. Nuke youtube, netflix and spotify for peerhub. Nuke all their apps for grayjay or fountain.
