Hello fellow pirates! I'm tired of having all the telegram premium ads and antifeatures in the client and I'm looking for a client that removed them even if it's against the TOS. Any tips? I'd rather use an actual open source fork than a cracked version of the original

I'm looking for both Android and Desktop (Linux)

What I want is to remove the hateful ads in the channels and the "buy premium to unlock these emojis", and also to be able to arrange the folders in whatever order I like, without being forced to keep the "All messages" as first

thanks in advance!

Thanks for the link! I'm trying to install the latest APK in the releases (which is 1y old), but when I try to log in it says "you're using an outdated version, please update" refusing to let me log in :(

Yes, you can only use it if you where using it in the past, sadly the project seems to be abandoned.

Telegraher, but be aware your account may get banned (I am a premium user tho)

[–] American_Jesus@lemm.ee 12 points 9 months ago (2 children)

You don't get banned for using a fork.

Telegram API is open, you can use any client you want, even CURL

Unless they ban all the users using a specific client

There are incidents where users using particular fork gets banned

[–] Duck@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 9 months ago

Can you name those forks?

Um using for years, Telegram-FOSS, Nekogram, Forkgram, um both phone and desktop, never get any warning.

If anyone got banned, probably violation of TOS

Also the clients are opensource and available on GitHub

I don't know if it's the "TOS-Breaking" you're looking for, but I've been using Forkgram for a while now and really appreciate the QOL improvements it has, as well as the ability to hide the Premium stuff you aren't using.
