He’s an asset of the kremlin. His status as a ‘dissident’ of Russia is a lie. Just look how up in a fit the Russian propagandists and Kremlin are about him getting arrested, plus how it’s one of or the only messaging services allowed in Russia. 🤔

- What decryption keys even, group chats cannot be encrypted and private chats are unencrypted by default and even encrypted chats shouldn't have the encryption key stored on any servers unless there is a backdoor.
- It's not even encrypted except for encryption at rest. What are you talking about?

Soo is telegram safe? Anyone have alternatives to telegram that has easy to use bots? I use it for all my arr services and home assistant.
- As someone who has never used telegram and uses the arr stack and home assistant, what do these bots do?
  
  I use the HA one to send images from frigate as sort of a "backup" of alerts in case my house is robbed and I lose access to my server. For arr I have it send me and my family alerts when new episodes and movies are added to my Emby server. I run two bots.
- Telegram was never safe because it's not encrypted. Use something encrypted and open-source, so you don't need to rely on their promises and service.
  Signal is the most popular alternative. Others are Threema, Matrix, Session.
