Is discord not safe?

I am tempted to download the app "Telegram" for a particular reason.
Anyone know anything about it?

I use it daily to talk to my sister. It works quite well for us. From time to time, some random twit will show up to chat (probably scammers of one kind or another) but I just delete those chats and block them from trying again.

I'm quite happy with it.

One nice thing it can do is schedule messages.

A few days before Thanksgiving and a few days before Christmas, I found a number of funny cartoons and pictures with captions appropriate for the holiday.

I then set Telegram to deliver them one every hour starting at 8 am and continuing until 10 pm.

I haven't sent a telegram since I was knee high to a grasshopper. I wasn't aware there was any danger in them. I'll keep a look out for men carrying Western Union bags just to be safe.
