Woot?! (not op),

  1. He said “no e2e by default” which is true. Straw man/missrepresentation
  2. You post on the fediverse, which is decentral - why shouldn’t you want this for telegram too? Open source server would allow to check / trust code, host your own, be more resilient against central attacks/malicious intend. Also you just waved it away saying it is not a biggy - maybe to you.
  3. Last time I checked telegram still has major trust issues for me. No way to know how much governments are involved, code is not independently checked for security (happy to be proven wrong on especially the last one)

Its totally fine that you like telegram, but you can do that while acknowledging others preferences

  1. it’s not true. Default calls are encrypted.
  2. I have not said anything about what I want for Telegram. Are you trying to make a straw man here? Not that you want to interject yourself into this debate - then tell me, what is the big problem with the serverside not being OS? I did write it would be optimal, but what is the big issue for you? Try to answer without making another straw man about something I didn’t say… ;-)
  3. I don’t care about your trust issues. Go deal with them…

So far, don’t you think that you really would know, if government was involved in any way that didn’t involve crime fighting? Do you prefer an app, where crime roam free? Is that your issue? That it doesn’t?

AFAIK it’s you and two others, who don’t acknowledge my preferences… So please consider following your own advice!
