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?
The problem with Signal is that the UX isn’t up to par aesthetically and the problem with SimpleX is that the UX is overly complicated. People want a great chat app first and foremost, privacy is an afterthought.
Going from WhatsApp to Signal there’s literally no problem with Signal UI.
What about Signal’s UI isn’t up to par aesthetically?
Same question. I checked out Signal not a long time ago and it was really good looking. The only thing regular users may not like is the encryption key verification thing but it’s not really a UI issue.
Definitely a UI issue because it is not clear what the user is supposed to do according to the UI.
Should I be sitting physically next to the person to confirm? Read out the gazillion character code to them over a regular phone call?
Set the navigation bar size to compact and this looks much better.
Many people use TG specifically because it has unlimited cloud storage. Signal doesn’t offer this (don’t know about SimpleX).
For the average person, the ability to run it on seamlessly on multiple devices is more important than storage.
Simplex neither, the servers are only for transfer and the necessary short term storage.
