I've just tried to sign up from Firefox 122 and it worked. No captcha or other kinds of anti-bot puzzle to solve

What's "gas"?
I have to mention that I've downloaded the app from the website - premium costs more if you download the app from the store. In Italy, the pricing is 3.66 €/month if you pay monthly, or 2.24 €/month if you pay annually
I've been subscribed to premium for some time now. The things it would be difficult to give up are:
- voice messages transcription
- 4 gb files upload
- real-time translations
- ability to react to messages using custom emojis
- ability to react with up to 3 emojis to a message
- maybe, being able to create more than 10 folders
These features might seem some niche features you use once in a while, but I actually use them very very often
Premium is 2 €/month in my country, and considering how much I use Telegram (all my contacts and circles use it) and the features I mentioned above, I think it's worth it
So it begins
Camera: GrapheneOS's camera app. Have been my camera of choice ever since I've discovered it. Never had an issue, offers all the basic features you would expect from a camera
Meta: just making sure that anyone that reads this comment is aware of the existence of Obtainium!
Obtainium allows you to install and update Apps directly from their releases pages, and receive notifications when new releases are made available.
Yes, that was fast, but this is partly because of the introduction of channel giveaways a few months ago: channel owners can gift premium subscriptions to their subscribers, which will be randomly selected by Telegram (you don't need to opt-in). The channel will then be awarded the giveaway winners' boosts, that will let it unlock some additional features
That means that after some months, the giveaways winners will have to decide whether to renew their premium subscription or not (which was gifted to them: they might not be as interested in Telegram's premium features as paid users that decided to subscribe on their own). The current number of subscribers might be a spike caused by the novelty of giveaways. It's unlikely that the trend of gifting premium subscriptions will continue to generate this much revenue, but we will see. For sure this is a very convenient moment to decide to release some numbers on premium subscriptions ;)
The modlog is public
Tried to open that webpage but godaddy asks me if I want to buy the domain. Typo?
[email protected] is here to cater to vegans, not people who are curious about vegans and want to interrogate them about things that they could much more easily discover from the first paragraph of a Wikipedia article
Originally, this was this community's intent too. The rules in the sidebar are willingly shallow about this kind of posts because at some point we decided not to be too strict with submissions, considering that there wasn't that much activity and the mods were mostly afk . So posts like this are tolerated unless they become an omnis cicrclejerk/backpatting fest
yes, https://www.telegram.org/apps lists both, but if you open web.telegram.org, you will be automatically redirected to one of the two apps without being given the choice. The differences are not listed because the two apps are supposed to offer more or less the same features, and anyway nobody's keeping track of them. As far as I know, also, the two developers are given great freedom in deciding which secondary features to implement (these webapps are not yet mature to actually replace the desktop client) so this makes keeping track of the differences a little more difficult.
You are basically not supposed to chose, choice is for those who are actively following the development of the two apps, apparently 🤷
If you want to get an idea of which client to pick, have a look at their telegram channels, they publish nice changelogs:
(also notice at the differences in the username and title format lol)
