Like Microsoft, EA, facebook, twitter, reddit right? With the amount of corporate death nerds within their bubble have been predicting, there would be no evil corporations. and yet, here we are.
Stop overestimating when your intuition tells you what's a death knell.
People can use Signal, XMPP, Telegram and also whatsapp depending on their privacy requirements. Modern smartphones are capable like that.
I used to use scp to transfer files off of remote servers 20 years ago. You don't see me recommending it every time dropbox gets mentioned. Cool down with self-agrandizing bs.
What self-aggrandizing? Where is this about me?
Going public makes companies beholden to stock valuations, not what the users want. Which means Telegram will be even less useful for privacy and security minded folks.
Just like other public systems, you become the product.
Also, don't put words in my mouth, and take your condescending attitude and stuff it where the sun don't shine.
Show some integrity.
Well telegram is already profitable with showing minimal ad, and no user data selling. You just can't make up points that going for IPO will make them less secure, why so much rush? Just wait and watch what happens.
