Imo, it is a kind of trade-off between speech of freedom and easy automation/integration and all this spam. I'm ok with it, just a couple of marks in settings (like only my contacts can send me messages). If one wants to have a spam-free space, they can go to Facebook Messages or something like this. I can not imagine how Telegram can fight all this spam without hiring a lot of moderators like Facebook. Even to hire moderators, Telegram needs to change the business model and start selling user data for advertising.
It's not very convenient to use "safely" (for a grandma with nothing to hide, not for a usual person) even only for DMs, phone number requirement and channels and massive group chats and sponsored ads make it kinda dangerous.
Telegram is crap. It's as "free" as WhatsApp, technically inferior, has unfounded pretense at being somehow connected to privacy, and its owners are no less malicious than Facebook.
Now for a targeted professional attack it doesn't matter much what you use, they'll likely still succeed.
I much prefer XMPP to Matrix, but if there's a choice between Matrix and TG, it'll be Matrix 100%.
It's interesting, out of Messenger, WhatsApp, Signal, SMS it just seems to be Telegram that I get any scammers on these days. Messenger (Facebook) used to have them too but haven't got any messages in a year or so.
I'm ok with the folks really in to Telegram managing these risks for themselves. They tend to be bootstrap pullers-upper-by so they shoule be just fine
Slow your schaudenfreude. Telegram isn’t just for MAGA chuds, its become the new source for breaking news and journalists after Musk gutted Twitter
Is for mega Chad us only. Quoras home for dwmocraptos
Hell, when you get hung in a rut, better lock them hubs in, kick it in 4 wheel son
