And if it's possible to keep the sales people away, or at least invite-only. You can't keep sales people a.k.a phonies away it will always happen.

Your comment reminds me of the video "All My Homies Hate Skrillex - A Story About What Happened with Dubstep (Reupload)". It's a rant about how the original Dubstep was created and developed from the passion and use of a minimalistic approach in the underground London club scene. Then it became the mainstream phenomenon, and people who didn't care about the original ideas got all the population and credit. [0] https:…

Who thinks a mall is a fun place to hang out at? People go to malls because it's convenient to have everything you need for shopping at one place, and there's some shitty food for in between.

> Who thinks a mall is a fun place to hang out at? Indeed. If malls were fun, why are they all being abandoned and closed down due to a lack of foot traffic?

I would expect a public chat with 1k+ users to be considered public. Even when E2E encrypted, it just takes one person out of those 1k to leak the whole content - so what's the point? I too advocate for privacy, but for public discussions E2E encryption would make sense only as a mean of certification (person holding the key really wrote the message)

It’s not the groupchat; it’s the DMs that occur in parallel. Telegram would be fine without e2ee if it had no DMs.

I'm solving this in my social network by requiring karma from other networks before someone can post
