Ukrainians are some of the bravest people I know.

To the extent that you can, do not use Telegram. Telegram is owned by a single person. This man is a fucking liar.

Telegram infrastructure is linked to the FSB.

Signal is more secure and owned by a nonprofit. The founder of Signal is a professional cryptographer.

Signal delivers end-to-end encryption by default and collects almost no data.

Have you seriously never though about how cool it would be to see where your friends are, live on a map?

Its a realy useful feature when you want to meet up with someone and (at least) on person doesn't know the area, or just organizing multiple people.

Having that posibility available is a good thing. But signal decided that having that capability in an app means it could be misused so they actively decided against implementing it.

Emphatically no, and it's terrifying that concept has apparently been normalized to the point it's a desirable feature.

But signal decided that having that capability in an app means it could be misused so they actively decided against implementing it.

"Signal does thing to safeguard user privacy - that was bad, actually"

Umm, about zero cool.

People without real life friends cannot relate real world needs.
