wrong again. telegram have a simple unique userID that anybody can verify it.
But users are dumb and don't know how to use it.
Scammers will always scam weak people, no matter what complex scheme they will use. If a user wasn't capable to protect himself with the tolls telegram put in place, they will be scammed with any other apps. Because they are dumb.

I am one such dumb user who did not know this.

I still see a difference in ease of scammyness between some communication channels and others. But perhaps the best solution is a platform that only lets users have the name "scammer" so that everyone is always reminded that they could be interacting with a scammer. We could call it scammergram.

It's not a matter of knowing how to find it, its a matter of bothering to look.

Most users won't bother to look (I haven't in the past). I think platforms can make push a user one way or the other. Telegram pushes users toward not bothering.

That doesn't mean the platform is not OK. People are not OK.
And that applies also to BTC apps.
