I’m also looking to migrate and was recommended this service when I asked a similar question to OP. https://www.migadu.com/index.html

Unlimited inboxes. You’re just limited to inbox space, but you can have multiple domains.

I’ll be moving over to them when my current subscription runs out with my current provider

How do you get around the requirement to run the official app somewhere?

I run a WhatsApp and signal bridge, but not recommend running the official app on a phone

I don’t know where to look. How can I find out?

Same. Hasnt let me down. Super thorough, and makes adding/removing anything a breeze

She knows, but I don’t. Can someone explain?

Not much of this makes sense. Maybe we don’t have an equal understanding of private. If thats the case, this discussion is going nowhere.

I will point out, though, that this is particularly nonsensical

Govts are only after Telegram because they can’t infiltrate the company, ask for data etc.

Telegram doesn’t use encryption. Everything is in clear text. Nobody needs a back door to get access. Not even governments. It’s all just out in the open

I’m not sure what point you’re trying to make here. You start by agreeing that telegram is simply not private. Then you move on to implying that it must be, because the CEO got arrested?

How does that change the fact that it is, by your own assessment, not private?

To answer your question, the answer from my perspective is quite simple. Noncompliance. If telegram had complied to local laws, like the others have and continue to do, he would not have gotten in trouble.

I’m still confused about people who consider telegram a private chat.

It’s easy to verify for yourself that it isn’t, so how is this still going around?

I use this and it’s been completely flawless from day one. The documentation is up there with the best I’ve seen, and the matrix room always has someone willing to help explain further

This is just a proposal. It’ll take years to pass into a law/directive (if it ever does). I’d say now is probably a decent time to visit, in case it does go forward
