That is like saying that canned tuna isn't the same as canned cod fish. You are technically right and yet you are still missing the point. It is just like telegram 10 years ago: - Open-source - Russian-owned and developed - VC funded - Staggering privacy promises - realistically only 1 client implemented - free servers from VC funding That isn't private. There is zero reliable guarantee that their app won't be sending clear texts messages to some gov when your IP is deemed as "interesting". Contrast that to PGP-alike NOSTR with hundreds of volunteer servers and dozens of client implementations where you can even send messages by paper if needed. By all means, please do convince anyone here to place hopes on that telegram 2.0
