Uhm. It is important to remember that people are not the extension of the government they live under.
If it was closed source I would agree but you can check for yourself if the code is good. Even if they are crazy.
No I can not. I am not an android-dev, I am not the best dev out there and I don't have time to thouroughly go through a big codebase. It would defenetly be possible to hide mallicious code from me, even if I have access to the source-code. For really big projects it is safe to assume other, more knowlegable people have allready audited the code, but for small ones I have to be able to trust the devs.
Telegram is involved with the shadier end of the crypto market, and for a market that's shady enough as it is without needing a shadier part, it's pretty damn dark in there.

It isn't even viable for their uses. They should consider ~~moving~~ upgrading to Matrix or Signal.
I am absolutely on your side regarding telegram. I was talking about the tool highlighted here.
I was about like... "Am I on Lemmy?"
