TeleGrab is not a good option.
* It's centralised
* server is proprietary; https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Telegram
* they're DataFarmers; https://cybernews.com/security/signal-founder-telegram-privacy-pavel-durov/
So all the major problems of Discord. Plus;
* hosted in Russia; https://www.firstpost.com/tech/telegram-founder-durov-slams-russia-as-it-chokes-app-to-push-state-backed-platform-13978559.html
* its claims about encrypted chat are almost never kept; https://blog.cryptographyengineering.com/2024/08/25/telegram-is-not-really-an-encrypted-messaging-app/
Also full of disinfo bots and swivel-eyed loons. Avoid.

Not your fault, their reputation laundering is as effective as it is misleading. My post wasn't intended as a swipe at you, so much as a Public Service Message to anyone else in the verse tempted to go from the frying pan into the fire.
