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 Broad strokes, my experience matches yours. The Mac app was definitely nicer than Signal at various points, and I suspect (having just reopened Signal for the first time in a while) that Telegram feels lower hassle to a lot of people than does Signal, for all the reasons that Signal is a more secure platform.
