> telegram is full of bots
It's been a core feature of Telegram since almost the beginning, and one of the main reasons I end up using Telegram, not sure why you'd think this is a drawback. The spam sucks though, not sure how they haven't got a handle on it yet.
If you don’t join spammy groups you won’t get spam
Fair, I am a part of a bunch of groups I no longer care about that the spam might originate from. Thanks :)
those bots are different to these ones, for these you have to start the interaction. bots is the most useful feature of telegram
I use Telegram only for groups with people I know. I've got zero issues with boths.
Are you using public channels? (are those even a thing with Telegram?)
> are those even a thing with Telegram?
It is the thing with Telegram
They should start charging for it. Like not a lot, maybe just a coffee a month. That should keep the bots away.
