Source? And fyi, if you use Signal you are generating your own encryption keys. Your private keys are generated on your phone and stay on it. So what gives you the idea that
Which one? There’s three in my post. And I do use an ad blocking DNS, but this can’t block message-like ads from Telegram. Otherwise it would have to somehow read the encrypted message content…
I know! But I don’t really have a choice currently; which app would you suggest for tickers / info channels?
Mastodon would be an option, but it’s not quite the same. Abd I’d first have to convince everyone to use it :/

So, Telegram has launched horrible [ads](https://ads.telegram.org/) that look a lot like spam to me. At least in my channels it's typically some crypto bullshit.
So, I wonder if people know about alternatives to the subscription service for blocking them?
Sadly, Forkgram [won't offer that option](https://github.com/forkgram/TelegramAndroid/issues/134) and it doesn't seem to [be allowed](https://core.telegram.org/api/terms#3-advertising-amp-monetization).

I’ve been using metager for some while and really like it. They’re also part of an initiative pushing for a free as in freedom search index, so that’s nice
I first heard about I2P here on lemmy. The concept sounds really cool, but does anyone *actually* use it? And if so, what for?
To me it sounds like it depends on many people using it and many applications integrating it, which just doesn't seem to be the case.
uBlock Origin and nothing else. The more extensions, the more unique you’re fingerprint will be and the bigger your attack surface.
