I like the Idea of Simplex Chat.
But my family isn't ready yet.

@stux Some companies are their own worst enemy.

@stux Oh no.

Anyway let's coordinate on @signalapp

@stux yikes, that will be hard to ditch because the iOS sideloading community uses telegram a lot (it’s actually the only reason i joined telegram)

@stux this is bad really bad

@stux never had any trust in telegram, so I never created an account there.

This partnership is yet another example of "spyware-as-a-service" between the fossil fuel interests of Russia, Saudi Arabia, Dubai, and US tech companies.

1. Musk got investment from Alwaleed bin Talal, a Saudi oil oligarch. Three times.

@stux Done that. I used telegram for family contacts since 2020, because I didn't want to use Meta apps. However, I ditched it altogether in February 2025. Now I have most of my contacts on Signal.

@stux I want to ditch #Telegram, but right now I depend on information that is shared there, by other candidates, about our public examination process, which won't finish until September or October, or even later.
