So, Telegram has launched horrible ads that look a lot like spam to me. At least in my channels it’s typically some crypto bullshit. So, I wonder if people know about alternatives to the subscription service for blocking them? Sadly, Forkgram won’t offer that option and it doesn’t seem to be allowed. However, I wonder if there are still forks out there which block the ads? Or do people know of alternative options?

    I know! But I don’t really have a choice currently; which app would you suggest for tickers / info channels? Mastodon would be an option, but it’s not quite the same. Abd I’d first have to convince everyone to use it :/

      Just be more like me and refuse to talk to people who aren’t on Signal. Works for me sometimes.

      I feel that. That’s why I said it was a joke. If I could get all my people off Discord and on Matrix I would but oh well.

      Matrix/Element would be my preferred as I could self-host, but I don’t have better suggestions that are more like Telegram I am sorry to say.
