I sort of want to see what these things are like but I don’t want to give them any data or contribute to them in any way haha. I’ve heard the Queen of Canada uses it which intrigues me
Telegram isn’t insane, I just use it for piracy
Don’t go on any right wing media sites, trust me they’ll impact your mental health even if you think they don’t because they linger in your mind for a while and that impacts you mentally
Don’t waste your mental energy and will only sites like that
Why do you consider telegram private? It’s a pretty bad option for that. They are only using true end-to-end encryption when using the explicit “secret chat” feature, which is limited to one-on-one still, afaik.
“Normal”/default encryption gets resolved on telegram servers, so your clear text messages are sitting there for them to do whatever they want. Given that telegram is based in UAE and has knownRussian management influence,I’d be extra hesitant.
It also is for-profit and closed-source for the servers ( only clients are open source), so nobody knows what the servers really do.
If you care about privacy, go use Signal or any Matrix-based messenger such as Element. Especially because they lack zero of the comfort and usability that Telegram offer, but are much more secure.
They said PIRACY not PRIVACY
also, I don’t know why most people shill signal online, it’s a US controlled honeypot
Is it required to give them useful data? Thinking of using an old smartphone with bogus personal info, single-purpose email account etc.
Telegram is one of the very few services in existence that dont fuck with your data. I dont understand the concern in registering there
Truth social has a website
So does Telegram
In Germany a lot of people have Telegram and fheret are many local groups or project related stuff. It’s not the dark web, just register and check it out. There is some crazy stuff there as well, sometimes when I’m bored I search for it.

insane platforms like Telegram
Is telegram considered insane? It’s basically just a messaging app that people can form group chats in.
There’s also some official groups for normal projects. I know for example PixelExperience ROM used to have a community over there before shutting down.
