So sad that Telegram has a bad reputation in the West. It's *by far* the best UI/UX messenger out there. WhatsApp doesn't even come close (although I love the fact that it runs on the BEAM).

I’ve tried to find a cross platform messaging and calling app for the kids to use, and Telegram actually came pretty close to being a good option because I didn’t find any feed of random content in it. It fell on that you need to pay to be able to limit who can contact you.

Bah. The search isn’t visible by default, so I never even realized it existed. Made me think you had to be linked into channels.

Signal is sadly also limited by this setting, it’s just all or nothing. It’s actually quite impressive how there are no large established options for kids.

Why limited? There also usernames
