Discussion on: Why Telegram is the One True King of Messengers

Ok, let's say Telegram e2e encryption is solid, the fact that it's not enabled by default it's still a no for me. It's 2019, come on.

Google tried to release a new messaging system without encryption and was blasted on day one.

The fact that we allow personal communication to go god knows where in clear just because they have better stickers is a no for me if I can avoid it.

I don't like that Slack is not encrypted or that email is not either. At least let me use one form of communication that is :-)

Feel free to continue as you were. I guess WhatsApp has stickers too? 🤞

It's 2019 but the rise of Slack, Discord, and other group chat apps shows that seamless usability is often more desired attribute than security for the masses. I can't fight them so I have joined them.
