Telegram is adopted widely by the “crypto community”. But Monero should not be apart of this, as it’s a centralized platform doing zero metadata protection and only encrypted on mobile. Here’s an excellent video you can send your friends who request you to message them on there: https://video.simplifiedprivacy.com/why-telegram-sucks/

It is best to avoid Telegram for any purpose.

Simplex is doing good things nowadays. Here is a monero group that I created in order to test it. Feel free to join in and test simplex:

Feel free the share the group join link far and wide. As far as I am concerned, the more Monero enthusiasts in there, the better.

I'm already in the group, it's great! SimpleX is private in a very unique way

Then avoid X, Reddit or Discord. You need to be in different channels to teach and trade with people about Monero.

Ah, Telegram: where end-to-end encryption is a "special feature" for secret chats and not the standard for all. How... private.

Best place for XMR trading is AgoraDesk/LocalMonero
