No, anyone on Telegram can block incoming calls. Voice messages are different.
Fuck Subscriptions
Naming and shaming all "recurring spending models" where a one-time fee (or none at all) would be appropriate and logical.
Expect use of strong language.
Follow the basic rules of lemmy.world and common sense, and try to have fun if possible.
No flamewars or attacking other users, unless they're spineless corporate shills.
Note that not all subscriptions are awful. Supporting your favorite ~~camgirl~~ creator or Lemmy server on Patreon is fine. An airbag with subscription is irl Idiocracy-level dystopian bullshit.
New community rule: Shilling for cunty corporations, their subscriptions and other anti-customer practices may result in a 1-day ban. It's so you can think about what it's like when someone can randomly decide what you can and can't use, based on some arbitrary rules. Oh what, you didn't read this fine print? You should read what you're agreeing to.

Wait so how does that work then, I was looking at Telegram's page on it but frankly they're hyping premium so much, I got the impression you can't block shit without paying
As I said, anyone can block incoming calls. You can also block users which means they cannot send you anything (text, images, voice messages). If you specifically want to block only voice messages from a person, that feature is behind the Premium paywall.
Without premium you can block calls but you can't block voice messages. Not sure what the user you replied to was on about
I edited the title because originally I misunderstood that you can't block calls
ez just block everyone that sends you voice messages
What a bunch of greedy good-for-nothings these companies are. Pretty soon people will be saying, "Well, I guess I'll just not bother having a phone anymore." I mean really, it's getting so bad I think I'm going to brush up on my Morse code.
SimpleX does this out of the box!
