Install Telegram Desktop on Fedora 26 and newer with Cinnamon Desktop
-
However that is a big advantage (at least for me) for Telegram. You get a tarball with two bin files. Telegram and the updater. Updates are automatic and nothing needs “installed.” They also have a web version which is a nice feature.

ok I didn't scroll down the page enough.. I see the debian info there.

Is there a Telegram group chat for ML?
May be less secure but for this situation may be a better use case...

Yes. Just called MangoLassi. It is a public group.

Dash invited me in, he and I are just talking private chat at the moment.
Looks WAY better.

Ya I like it a lot. I’m glad I found it early last year. It’s nice for cross platform normal chat.

I think I downloaded it in 2014 or early 2015. Everything looked a lot weirder then. Now it looks a lot more polished.

Alright, I'm on Telegram now. Same username as here.

I am on telegram as well.
-
I'm the same too

It's like Messages for the Mac, but cross platform.
Love it.

Telegram has a whole lot of RED in that messaging app chart... why are we all switching to Telegram now? Is it just because of the interface? Is that enough of a reason to dramatically lessen your cares of security (according to that chart)?

not really - especially when many of use started using Telegram, it was a pretty crappy interface.
-
But, unlike Telegram, group chat in Signal gives all users in a group chat everyone's phone number, Where Telegram does not.

EFF ranked Telegram as the most secure option when we all moved to it. Things like WhatsApp were considered very insecure at the time.
Because I speak to all people before talking to them on there, I'm not worried about their verification piece in practice.
