Lemmy start by saying I don't trust telegram in termes of privacy (pun intended). But I still use it for specific purposes and I was wondering if there is a point in using a fork privacy-wise? I's assume not since it still uses telegram servers but still curious about an explanation as to why not! Cheers

Since Pavel Durov; the CEO of Telegram got arrested, I just instinctly have avoided telegram all together. I actually stopped two years before he got arrested as I just simply felt uneasy with the app. No encryption by default. Using obfuscation rather than encryption. But that's just my opinion. Jumped over to signal and feeling much happier
