I’m still using Telegram (no judgement pls 😅), but I frequently receive messages from bots. Telegram now wants me to pay to disable the ability for unknown users to contact me?

@obrhoff lame. That said, I’ve been a telegram user since 2014 and signed up for premium when it launched. It’s got problems and… questions, sure, but it’s literally 10x better than every other messaging app. That’s something I’m happy to pay for.

@ianthetechie Yeah, product wise its just the best (ignoring the political discussion about encryption etc.) Especially on the Desktop.

Meanwhile WhatsApp for Desktop is just okay after 15 years and iMessage is too buggy (regularly my messages won't arrive on the other side).

@obrhoff exactly. And Signal is great from an encryption perspective at all, but it’s basically unusable as a product.
