I do, because I'd rather quickly get to the point instead of tapping a relay of texts. Call me a Boomer if you want, but typing on a glass screen fucking sucks. If I don't have a physical keyboard, the next best thing is voice call.
There’s a clear reason the small hats work so hard to wipe their hand in history from the record and condition the public to see them as perpetual victims.
Telegram has a pretty good track record. Like everyone they're under enormous pressure to censor, and still host a lot of content exiled from other mainstream platforms. They're not perfect or absolutist, but removing channels full of calls for violence (if that's true) as a sop to the mob may be a simple matter of survival.
Let's face it, options are limited. If Telegram were created today it would be killed in its cradle. Any new service that doesn't engage in systematic political censorship will be declared a Nazi haven by the media and isolated and possibly stamped out by Big Tech. It's only because Telegram is established and in widespread "normie" use that it can get away with this.
Will Telegram go the way of Twitter et al.? It might. If so, we adapt. Until then, it is a resource.
Isn't Telegram just am IM app? So they have to join in like Facebook and start censoring private conversations and not even something that's available for all to see? I'm waiting for the next step where a computer voice interrupts your phone calls when it hears you talk about things against leftist politics.
I'm starting to get much more behind things like Matrix and XMPP. Decentralize as much as possible and make it hard for them to track things down.
It's not just messaging. There are also Telegram "channels", which are similar to Twitter feeds or Facebook pages, and include many individuals or groups banned from other social media (examples: Alex Jones, Proud Boys, VDARE, Tommy Robinson, Laura Loomer, American Renaissance, Milo Yiannopoulos). Channels can be viewed on the web without an account, although creating an account is easy enough.
You jest, but I could see them doing that, though with different reasoning. How many people still use their phones as phones?

Agreed, as i type this on my phone. I miss sliding keyboards on phones.
Another tribe member attacking our freedoms. It's no wonder that they've been one of the most hated groups in human history.

If you're not going to defend anyone who isn't a free speech absolutist, you're going to wake up with no one left to defend, very, very soon.
nobody except progs defends cp
