Wanted to know if there are any other android apps with features like telegram such as sending ,recieving big files creating channels etc. Using a bot or channel in telegram to pirate movies and series are infinitely easier than torrenting . But as telegram is not fully open source and requires a phone number to create an account i am looking to see if there are any better alternatives which aldready does have a piracy ring like telegram . If you know any share . I am asking this here because i think it is the right sub and i can’t find an alternative anywhere on the web . If it isn’t the sub for this i will delete the post if you request so in the comments.

EDIT : It seems everyone missed my questions point i don’t want a privacy focused app like telegram to chat i want a app that is privacy focused but can also help me pirate media .

      I am interested. Could you point me to a good tutorial to get started with IRC? I think I used some IRC sites before but they felt more like chatrooms

        IRC (Internet Relay Chat) is a chat protocol, and all IRC servers host chat rooms exclusively.

        If you know where to go, you can find bots. You interact with them with private messages, commands like “!download <whatever>”. Upon which the bot will create a DCC (direct client connection) with you and transfer whatever you requested.

        Of course, lots of bots will enforce some sort of requirement on you, membership on some web site or some such.

      Are there any obvious fire-and-forget solutions to hosting IRC servers for friends? With Mumble it’s a simple sudo apt-get and you have your voice chat running, but at a first glance IRC seems to be a bit more involved, surprisingly so.

        It’s literally configure && make && make install docker pull && docker-run for the ircd image.

      I love the IRC protocol. We had to implement an IRC client in networking class and the text protocol is so simple and great.
