Telegram is a shady app. They rolled their own crypto, put up a "challenge" to break it with conditions that would've made most crypto unbreakable; most importantly, they do not even encrypt anything by default
@Gargron what would be a user friendly, encrypted chat app?
@pasqui023 Wire seems ok
@Gargron What is your opinion about Jabber with the new OMEMO encryption scheme? I test Conversations on Android and it is quite good.
@masoud OMEMO is good and I believe it powers most good e2e apps now. Conversations, Signal, WhatsApp, Wire

@Gargron @pasqui023 How does The Wire sticker ecosystem compare to Telegram?
@Gargron @USBloveDog I think last time I used it,about 1 year ago,it didn't have stickers
