I really don't give a shit.
E2E encryption is a total buzzword. Follow the simple rule: if you do not want some information to be known WHY do you post it on internet ?
Always keep your private life separate from online presence.
If you join to a PUBLIC group on Telegram is stupid to think that everything you post there is private. Same happen with nostr, if I post something on nostr, even on a private chat, I do not expect to be private, only if I use my own relay only.
So all this hate against Telegram is not necessary and dumb.
End-to-end encryption is not a "buzzword". It means the communication between you and someone else is encrypted. If you're only posting on public forums or channels, sure, then interception doesn't matter because the information is public anyway. However if you are using the DM feature to chat with another person, then you are not in fact "direct" messaging. You are messaging to the Russian government, then it is relayed to your interlocutor, and vice versa.
E2EE is particularly important if you are sharing crypto keys for things like opening Lightning channels, which way too many people are doing with Telegram. It is insecure, please stop. Move off of that wasteland of a platform and on to open source freedom technology.
