Not a seasoned programmer myself but I did one (with Telethon and Python) to remind everyone in my family about incoming medical appointments for my parents, due dates for public services and calculating how much everyone must pay or due dates for going for their medications

Interesting how you personally have seen groups dedicated to drug trade migrate to signal 🤔

That’s how encrypted messagers work. Anyone can use then for any purpose. It is actually very reassuring that it has become so popular. Just to be clear I am not endorsing Neo Nazis.
Also I like how Simplex Chat doesn’t have user facing identifiers. (People can’t DM you)
The only concern I have is the public group chats but because I don’t use that feature it isn’t a big deal for me personally.
This is false. However, you must generate an “identifier / group / channel” for them and share that link out-of-band to them." Basically it means nobody can slide into your DMs unless you yourself consent to it and forge a connection with them to do so. It does offer a way to invite other users to chat; but the other user must consent as well…which makes it far safer usually.
In other words, it’s the same effect as when you make separate identities to share with different contacts on any messaging service. SimpleX has adopted that as the normal way to operate.
They certainly make it easier to do so; by making it a switch you can toggle; which allows you to generate an identity; or choose not to and roll with the identity they’ve already seen.

I have also seen Telegram groups dedicated to drug trade migrating to other platforms such as Signal.
And here I am over here just using telegram for it’s easy to build bots and talking to my family. The bots are handy for many things.
I haven’t looked into the bots in years, what are you doing with them?

Are drug users not allowed to use lemmy
Are you implying there’s something wrong with that?
Depends. Homie who homegrowns and cares? Ok
Narcos who also commit other atrocities? Not ok
No no just curious
Yeah all my human trafficking homies moved elsewhere /s
Blaming a privacy respecting app for a minority group is lame af. That’s how we lose all personal freedoms.
Tewowists & paedophiles.
privacy respecting? telegram!
is that sarcasm or misinformation?
They are presumably referring to SimpleX. Although I don't actually see anyone blaming it for the existence of Nazis.
Telegram is not private
Agreed.
