Telegram is insecure and also being swamped with right wingers. Doesn’t seem promising.

Telegram is insecure and also being swamped with right wingers. Doesn’t seem promising.
- rvz 6y ago> also being swamped with right wingers So is Signal. 'right wingers' are everywhere.
- chopin24 6y agoRight. But one of these is secure and the other isn’t. State action against telegram is eminent.
- rvz 6y agoThese users who are coming from these platforms (WhatsApp, Telegram) don't care about that. If Signal is still unable to stay online then the users will leave and they will try the second best option. (Even if it is less secure). This has now become a usability and reliability issue for Signal.
- frEdmbx 6y agoWe had better hope that those who are silenced always have some sort of forum to go to, lest violence become inevitable. It's almost as if that's what the fascistic censors want. Eventually, those who aren't considered desirable will seek out decentralized, permissionless, alternatives. Kind of like how 99.999999% of crime is funded by FRN cash, rather than AMEX. The censorship will lead to permissionless, anti-fragile, forums.
- kbelder 6y agoYeah; almost half the users are right of center.
- himujjal 6y agoi have so much fun in public websites seeing americans fight over right and left. its good entertainment. keep it up. anyways. It will be really difficult to convince my friends to remain on signal. At least they are technically sound. Thinking an excuse to come up with though. i donated money today too.
- cassianoleal 6y agoIndeed. Especially considering that US left would be sort of mid-right, or at best centre-right in most parts of the world.
- adamcstephens 6y agoI should leave because some people I’ll never talk to on it have right wing views?
