RE: What if we were WhatsApp friends

in Galenkp's Stuff4 months ago

I don't know what Telegram is but I guess it's like WhatsApp.

I like the interaction off the blockchain but one needs to be careful with information like real names, phone numbers and all; there's many assholes out there looking for a chance to pounce and do ill.

I have a Spanish speaker on WhatsApp and it's somewhat difficult for that person to communicate but they do a good job and we interact from time to time which is nice. The person can open up a little (there's problems and issues they won't mention on the blockchain) and I like to think the interaction brings some comfort or at least a respite from the day to day troubles.

Well, that's the advantage of Telegram, it has the option to hide your number and even your real name, it works similar to WHATSAPP, but has better features, like the ones I just mentioned, so I prefer Telegram, in the case of looking to talk to people from elsewhere, and if that's the best of being able to talk outside the platform, of things that we shy away from saying here.

I use Threema for that purpose, a messaging app where no numbers or names are passed on. It's a paid app though so only those with a high sense of security tend to want to pay for it. Threema uses a user code to link connections and it pretty secure, so there's no risk of compromised phone numbers and names.

telegram is supposedly more secure.

signal is even more secure.

but the most fun part of telegram are their emojis...lolol

seriously 🤣

I'll never find out probably. I use WhatsApp and Threema, Threema is for the more serious stuff.

yeah I only talk to a few there. but once you have years of messages...its hard to move! lol so.much history there!! lol

You nostalgic thing.

you have no idea... LOL

i LOVE the beginning of something.

I just went back to a dm from 2018 and started reading all the beginning chatter.... i got lost in it!!! read for hours!! it was like revisting our former selves in some bizarre way!!! The way we talked!!! LOL the way we've changed... it was wild! i remembered things old nicknames and funny situations as I sat there reading this "story of a friendship" .... it was so cool.

i really really am super sentimental heheh
