> matrix and irc are good options but telegram too
TeleGrab is not a good option.
* It's centralised
* server is proprietary; https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Telegram
* they're DataFarmers; https://cybernews.com/security/signal-founder-telegram-privacy-pavel-durov/
So all the major problems of Discord. Plus;
* hosted in Russia; https://www.firstpost.com/tech/telegram-founder-durov-slams-russia-as-it-chokes-app-to-push-state-backed-platform-13978559.html
* its claims about encrypted chat are almost never kept; https://blog.cryptographyengineering.com/2024/08/25/telegram-is-not-really-an-encrypted-messaging-app/
Also full of disinfo bots and swivel-eyed loons. Avoid.

PUTIN SHUTS DOWN #YOUTUBE, MESSENGERS: #KREMLIN LOST CONTROL Vlog 1317: War in #Ukraine
A russian crackdown on the #Telegram and other #socialmedia apps risks damaging its own army, russian pro-war bloggers have warned, as the platform’s founder refused to bend to pressure from #Moscow. But #putin is desperate to hide his failures and fears nationwide protests can be organized using such #messengers.
