Thanks Lon for covering this - always informative and well explained. My best friend in Ukraine uses Telegram and she asked me to use it because we believed it was encrypted. It was important to her that we talk securely and privately. Its very interesting what you covered here.
Have you ever opened a camping cooler in early spring only to find out that it doesn’t get cleaned before it was stored away. The smell would be so bad that you would throw up 🤮 Well that’s the smell I get from this App.
I don’t see how to follow a channel. You just explained the way the channel works and how to make one but not how to find a channel from someone else . Do I look them up under contacts?
I remember when telegram was new and people were using it for piracy. You could find movie groups and download movies but the pirates got greedy and stopped posting movies on their free groups and just posted trailers and said the full movies were on their paid group. That aspect of Telegram didn't last long.
I'm a big fan of Telegram's features and am intrigued by all the concern about privacy. Telegram offers personal conversations and also these massive groups and channels with the ability for the user to use any device and access the complete history of all conversations. They do this because these are features people want. Unfortunately, it just is not possible to secure it like a "secret chat." If you want totally private group conversations you will need to find another platform and accept their limited features.
@@Ohmed_88 While it is possible to create a end-to-end encrypted chat with a single person using the Telegram app (does not work on a desktop) it is not possible to do the same with a group chat.
What would be interesting is if you posted 4 similar videos. One with both like and dislike. One with both turned off. One with only like and one with only dislike.
This was super helpful in understanding what all had happened with Telegram in the past and the current state of the platform! Have you already done one of these for Discord? I liked to think I was pretty tech savvy but I’m having a heck of a time understanding exactly what Discord is, how it works, what to use it for - honestly the interface is a bit intimidating I think. If you haven’t, that might be a helpful one for novices to the Discord platform? (If you have, the TH-cam algorithm didn’t want to show me search results for it! 😛 )
I can't get on telegram I put my phone number in and it says a code has been sent to it to use to log in but there is no code on my phone. Can someone help me?
I think it’s charming that you try out all of the new apps and services- I always try and wait for some of the kinks to be worked out before I hop in. Happy to get the scoop from you!
*Lon* - MoCA question: Watching your goCoax MoCA videos, I noticed that you routinely reference the BAMF brand splitters. However I see that the 3-way variants are no longer available on amazon, and the 2-way models are steadily going up in price. In your opinion, would I be just as well served with the Cable Matters splitters since they are marked as "MoCA" and state a frequency of 5-2450 MHz? Also, what if another brand of splitter has a similar frequency but doesn't state that it's MoCA certified? Thank you in advance for your time.
Within the first 20 seconds when he said social media platform, I thought "...and the way of face book, et al." 2 minutes later "They comply with gov. orders..." Thank you and goodnight.
Banning telegram is very hard. Russian govt did not succeed at that. They broke a lot of services during their ban tho.

Telegram note safe. Bucsue ip address and location tracking... Telegram false span
How do you find someone not in your contacts but you want to follow them?
Lon your explanations are always accurate and highly detailed.
If someone gets on telegram do they have to use debit card like it shows at bottom or not or is it free without debit card
Telegram is so much better than WhatsApp!

I joined Telegram just to follow and help out. Looks like the numbers are up on that service for subs!
I prefer Signal. The only information they have is the last time you logged on, and when you created an account.

Do famous people use telegram?
He is also a member of the WORLD ECONOMIC FORUM!!!!
Unfortunately, Telegram has become the Mos Eisley of apps, " a wretched hive of scum and villainy."
Keep up the great work

U definitely can do a secret chat with telegram. Look up how to do it. It's kinda hidden. They should make it easier to find.

This somehow sounds like a '90s TV spot.

9:57 - I saw the SD card and thought for a sec, "That is a strange placement for an icon" .. Then you moved it. 🤣
Yeah it was easier than editing in a black box later :)
Signal is very similar but encrypted
I can't get on telegram I put my phone number in and it says a code has been sent to it to use to log in but there is no code on my phone. Can someone help me?

Thx for info. Also, how do you send a group message? I must first give them my telegram name??

Thanks, no Telegram for me!
My choice utopia ecosystem
Signal is safer
Signal is safer than Telegram
