    Your response reads like a paid AstroTurf comment.

    Putting the ability to block or restrict receiving something behind a paid subscription is batshit crazy. That is an extremely shitty thing to do and will just result in people not using the service entirely as soon as they try to block something like spam or harassing messages. Just because you don’t run into any problems with how you use it, that doesn’t mean there aren’t issues people run into daily.

      I’m always wary of those who support enshittifying decisions like these. There’s almost always an agenda, or an astounding level of ignorance.

      I can block user without problems. Plus I can decide for each one my own privacy settings.

      I don’t see it. There isn’t even any option to buy premium. And I just updated…

        🌟 Restrict Voice Messages

        Premium subscribers can control who is able to send them voice and video messages.

        https://t.me/premium/134 (link tries to open in telegram app if you have it installed and may display differently than if you do not use their service).

        Here's what it looks like without an app installed

        I’m not going to put any more effort into this conversation for a service that I will never use clearly charging a premium for basic privacy/safety settings like controlling who can send them certain types of messages.

          Thanks I see. Didn’t know other messengers allow that by default. You are right that I am unaffected.
