I don't get how people expect services to stay free while also being against any kind of subscription or ads and barely donate to support these projects.
This isn't an essential feature they're paywalling. I don't even remember the last time I sent a voice note, let alone get one from a stranger. Feels more like a thank you from the devs for supporting them

I will never understand why people switched from WhatsApp to telegram. Tg is just Russian WhatsApp.
What are the kids using nowadays? Signal?
Yes Signal is goog
TIL telegram is Russian and bad. dang.
It's not. The founder is russian and created vKontakte but basically had it taken away from him by Putin. He's outspoken against the regime and just because he's born in Russia shouldn't mean he should be seen as part of that crappy government.

So we want free apps that offer everything and don't take your data or advertise. It must also have constant security updates and a fleet of developers keeping it running. Good Luck finding that unicorn.

And then there's also this weird shadow area where I often hear those pirate chanties from...
