The official Telegram app with ads that appear at inconvenient locations bugs me. Any recomendations for a good FOSS Telegram client that does not show ads?

    I don’t think so. As long as you are not in some shady third party fork, you will be okay.

    I have been using telegram forks for some time now, never encountered a ban or anything like that.

      I was just piqued that if third party forks might offer extra features, some of which if they overlap with Telegram’s Premium offering, could be an issue. But I checked out couple of apps listed in this thread and they feel alright. I had confused a fork with a mod of the official app, the latter of which would certainly be a grey area.
