minus-squareSr Estegosaurio@lemmy.mllinkfedilinkarrow-up20arrow-down4·2 years agoTelegram is as bad as Whatsapp. It does not even have E2EE (or the pseudo-crap that was offers). At the end of the day I do not trust them and I think that both of them suck.

minus-squareSr Estegosaurio@lemmy.mllinkfedilinkarrow-up7·2 years agoThey use a pretty questionable implementation tho. And secret chats are incrodibly limited + not by default.
