Telegram is adopted widely by the “crypto community”. But Monero should not be apart of this, as it’s a centralized platform doing zero metadata protection and only encrypted on mobile. Here’s an excellent video you can send your friends who request you to message them on there: https://video.simplifiedprivacy.com/why-telegram-sucks/
Best place for XMR trading is AgoraDesk/LocalMonero
Right. But Agoradesk/LocalMonero uses Telegram for their customer support because they and their customers are ignorant of the concepts in this video
Unfortunately, many cash by mail Monero sellers leave their contact info as a telegram address on their intro page. I wish they would all have to leave an protonmail email address or some other way to contact them using Tor.
Localmonero uses matrix too for those who want it
It is best to avoid Telegram for any purpose.
Then avoid X, Reddit or Discord. You need to be in different channels to teach and trade with people about Monero.
Simplex is doing good things nowadays. Here is a monero group that I created in order to test it. Feel free to join in and test simplex:
I’m already in the group, it’s great! SimpleX is private in a very unique way
Just joined it as well… will promote on social media if that’s OK? On my xmr people;)
Feel free the share the group join link fat and wide. As far as I am concerned, the more Monero enthusiasts in there, the better.
Ah, Telegram: where end-to-end encryption is a “special feature” for secret chats and not the standard for all. How… private.
