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?

    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.
