I think I have a telegram, but it's barely used TwT

Poke me tho... I like it better than discord..

Sent ya a note about it

You should hang with us on Discord. We have fun. :3

Who ya replying to?

You! X3

I hang on Discord with a few artists and we hang out and play games like jackbox or watch movies and such, is fun.

^.^

I started using it long before Discord and I too prefer it.
It's my main choice of IM by a landslide.

i still know FAR more peeps on discord..

It's my preferred place to chat. Though I do still have discord for people that prefer the later.

It's rather nice ya..

I tried to get on it but then it wanted my phone number? it was weird

just give it a long dead/unused one or just a random from the phonebook. no idea why it wants it

I wouldn't recommend doing this.
If you lose access to your login or device you'll be asked to use that same number as a way to recover your account. If you no longer have access to that number you'll also lose the account associated with it.

Welcome to the one thing that sucks, truly, about Telegram. Phone numbers are used for authentication, when there are other methods that would've sufficed.

not only that but people that have your phone number in their adress book and use TG? they get a message that you use it as well. Including your boss and family. I like telegram but that aspect is atrocious.

Wait.. wat?

Yeah, they get a message like "phone contact name is using telegram now".
Maybe they stopped that since, but I don't think they did. Any anyone knowing your phone number could find you on TG. (note, doesn't work the other way around, people finding you by name don't get your phone number)
I ended up deleting the account and making one with a burner phone. and just to be save, my boss's number is now saved as "email adress" in contacts

Yep, that is still a thing. :|
It's the biggest reason I still have an old GoOgle Voice number that I use for this kind of stuff.

Telegram has always used personal phone numbers as a means of authentication and imho it's better than just using a shitty email or something similar as it deters people from creating a lot of bogus/scamming accounts as they have limited phone numbers.
This is all matter of opinion obviously but I honestly prefer this method to many others.

I assume it's cos you can make voice and video calls on it thru yer cell phone..

Yeah, kinda.

It can be handy, particularly the FA Watchbot, which'll keep an eye on new submissions for you; I've also made use of the e621 bot to follow specific keyword groupings (female giraffe is generally a weakness for me). :)

The discord bot called ArtWatch is equally as great!

I've had telegram for quite a long time... hit me up Denni :P

I have Telegram but only speak to like, 2 people on it whom nver talk to me on it anymore so I seldom look at it. xD

Now that you mention it, I forgot I even had it. xD I'd chat you up though. ;)

Who are ya on there?

I'll send you the note. :)

I have Discord and Telegram

Yep, I'm there! chefmongoose. :)

telegram would be best if not best messenger if it had proper encryption

what's your handle there hon?

Do you have telegram now?
