In my case, the hardest app to convince my friends and family to use is Telegram.

There’s definitely the stigma that Telegram is only used by criminals

Here, telegram is effectively used only for piracy.

Wait what? I thought Telegram pretty much was Discord but for people who prefer phones over computers.

Wasn’t there also a controversy where some people believed that telegram was private and secure, but that only was for a very limited subset of their features?

Disclaimer: I’ve only ever installed telegram once for one single person, but promptly removed it afterward for sending out messages to some of my contacts on its own, so I have no clue how it actually works. Feel free to correct or educate me.

Not a bad way to look at it, although I think one-on-one messaging is much more common on Telegram compared to discord, which has its “communities” thing as its main use case.

Automatically sending messages to your contacts?? Someone might have access to your account

i think you’re thinking of how you have to go out of your way to start a “secret chat” for it to have the touted encryption. those “secret chats” are way less feature-rich than the standard ones though, which sucks ass
