   I’m still using Telegram (no judgement pls 😅), but I frequently receive messages from bots. Telegram now wants me to pay to disable the ability for unknown users to contact me?

     @link2xt Ahh 2019. The year of free low interest money, DEI efforts and fake tech socialism 🥰

     @obrhoff This is impossible, Telegram has no subscription fees: https://web.archive.org/web/20190204003912/https://telegram.org/
     This must be a fake app, better delete immediately.

     @Musicaloris Wdym? Can unknown Premium User still text me, despite turning it off?

     @obrhoff On top of that, even if you give them money to get there, other premium users will can harass you

     @obrhoff lame. That said, I’ve been a telegram user since 2014 and signed up for premium when it launched. It’s got problems and… questions, sure, but it’s literally 10x better than every other messaging app. That’s something I’m happy to pay for.

     @ianthetechie Yeah, product wise its just the best (ignoring the political discussion about encryption etc.) Especially on the Desktop.

     Meanwhile WhatsApp for Desktop is just okay after 15 years and iMessage is too buggy (regularly my messages won't arrive on the other side).

     @Musicaloris True, totally missed that point. Very doubtful decision.

     @obrhoff This is how I understand "my contacts and premium users", but it's not 100% clearly said. But then, why would they mention premium users beside your contacts if they didn't mean the ones that are not in your contacts? Or am I missing something here? Been a while since my last friend I used the app for left it so I've been out of the game for a while now
