What do people like about Telegram? I keep seeing people mention how it's nicer than Signal or WhatsApp. I recently tried it out to talk to someone who isn't on Signal or WhatsApp and the main "feature" I've noticed is that I get way more spam on Telegram than on other services (the redacted message below is the one recent non-spam message I've gotten).

I haven't tried replying to any of the spam, but from reading about it, it seems like the spam is generally from scammers.

@danluu There are some nice features to it. One was that I think you can join groups that just exist to share files, but where there's no chit-chat. I do not remember the rest of the features, as I uninstalled it, since so few people have ever asked me to use it to talk to them. My understanding is that it's the least secure of all the major messaging phone apps.

@danluu Please say "hi" to Caroline and Elizabeth for me. They are so real people.
