I feel like someone tooling with a secure messaging app makes it less…reliable that its secure, despite yanking google play parts out of the code. Thoughts?

    I don’t know why people spend time building open source clients for not-self-hostable services. You could potentially spend hundreds of hours on something that can be shut down on a whim. Discord and spotify bots and clients, twitter or facebook clients, their APIs have been either severely restricted or shut down in the past.

      Nitter is pretty good tho. Makes Twitter usable without logging in. But yeah a FOSS client for Telegram feels like a waste of keystrokes.
