    @wainthepain01 I wouldn't trust GAB too much though. Parler and Telegram are safer. GAB has convenient technical issues at the moment.

    @telegram @ucoklat How does back up works in Telegram. I have lost ALL MY HISTORY in what’s app when my cell phone broke down last month.

  • manam_khoda خدا (@manam_khoda) reported

    The banks will make Iran-related expenses next to impossible. So unfortunately, we at Telegram are limited in what we can do here. That's why I asked the decentralized Digital Resistance movement to help Iranians regain free access to information.

    @telegram I use Telegram since 2018 and don't have a problem a bit with it. Feels more secure using it. The main problem, many of my work colleagues who are old and not tech savvy continue to use WhatsApp. I am feel sorry for them.

    I need good Telegram channels. Help me out gents.

  • pavelbains Pavel Bains (@pavelbains) reported

    Looks like this whole WhatsAp privacy issues has gotten to people. Seeing a slew of notifications on Telegram saying a non-crypto associate has joined Telegram. Good and bad. Good they are moving off WhatsApp, bad in that having Telegram just for business is gone.

  • _Hououin_Kyoma Ali (@_Hououin_Kyoma) reported

    authoritarian countries such as Iran, while WhatsApp and other “supposedly secure” apps have never had any issue in these places. Myth 3. “Telegram is not encrypted”. Every chat on Telegram has been encrypted since launch. We have Secret Chats that are end-to-end and Cloud Chats

  • bellaraluk Raluka (@bellaraluk) reported

    Parler and Telegram may shut us down but Signal won't! Move to a different platform fast

  • kdawson13 President-Elect Kathy Dawson (@kdawson13) reported

    @catturd2 Looks like my feed is now all crapola... They are taking everyone down.... See you on Parler... Heard Parler is being pressured by Apply to apply cen-sor-ship...... Gab and Telegram should survive!

  • NowMatters3 President-Elect NowMatters (@NowMatters3) reported

    @leeat55 We need to move to Telegram now before they shut us down

  • AngeliqueArtem1 Angelique Artemesia (@AngeliqueArtem1) reported

    @RaeHicks9 @RealMattCouch Nope but we starting a mission now. :) I'm going to start DM-ing people I have some people who get it and are down. We gotta get a Telegram,email, and Parler exchange of info goin on bc this place is a ticking time bomb ready to shut down. imo.

  • fionamcbride Fiona • Facilitator & Coach (@fionamcbride) reported

    Right... what are we thinking peeps... I can’t decide between these two messaging apps. I have both. Of the two I’ve used Telegram more than Signal. Telegram seems to have better choice of features. I need to pick one... help! :)

  • dag7_ Damiano G (@dag7_) reported

    @mj_makes @xplosionmind I think it is an issue related to certain groups. Since a large number of users use Whatsapp for groups, it will be hard to switch to Telegram because those groups are mandatory (e.g: for work). That's the real problem: although everybody should care they don't and use Whatsapp!
