So, Telegram has launched horrible ads 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 and it doesn’t seem to be allowed. However, I wonder if there are still forks out there which block the ads? Or do people know of alternative options?

    Telegram was never a better alternative. It’s not even encrypted. All your chats go straight to Abu Dhabi where everyone can freely access them.

    Signal is a viable alternative to Whatsapp. Threema is too, but less popular.
