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, …)

Nostr might be still immature, but an app like 0xchat (nprofile…3a4w) is already preferable to Telegram. And it can also serve as a great way to onboard more people to Nostr.
