Well, you're answering to my thread, if we go like this. Where I said that one reason the UX is better in Telegram is that they don't care about privacy.

Then we fundamentally disagree on what UX means. If it takes 2 days to receive a message because a human has to check that it is not spam, wouldn't you say that it's bad UX? Or is "scrolling" the only thing that you put into "UI/UX"? Do you actually know what UI/UX is?
> It is not obviously wrong, and you've done nothing but attempt to loop the conversation back to some level of privacy/encryption/etc.
Because that's my goddamn point from the beginning on. Privacy has an impact on UX (which means "user experience", by the way), period.
> If that is not clear to you, I don't know what to say anymore.
Same here. You don't seem to understand how privacy works technically, and you don't seem to understand what UI/UX means.

Except we were not going like that, because my thread is tangential to yours, and is all I was discussing.

No, it has no impact on whether or not the frontend interface is implemented well. "Virtualized Listviews 101, or how to implement them well" is a course you might consider taking.

I've been pretty transparent with the point of my comment chain, and I've more than enough time on the implementation end of both of these topics. I've asked you repeatedly to stop going off on tangents unrelated to my point (i.e, rendering/frontend UI/etc). If you don't want to do so, that's fine - I certainly can't make you. I just don't need to waste the time arguing with you either.
Have a good day man.
