Ah nice, I didn't know that was possible

True! But then Simplex / Signal are no real alternatives to Telegram, are they?

I'll give it a try, thanks! Sadly it doesn't seem to be well maintained though :/

I already use an ad blocking DNS, but that's not how they distribute ads, sadly

Which one? There's three in my post. And I do use an ad blocking DNS, but this can't block message-like ads from Telegram. Otherwise it would have to somehow read the encrypted message content...

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 :/

I use telegram mainly for info channels and tickers. To my knowledge that's not possible in Signal, because you can't restrict participants to be read-only (right?)

Can you give a source on the Hetzner claim? I'm curious and didn't find anything online
