Telegram is my only line of hope, it is my only access point to the free world.
Telegram is where I got to know Bitcoin, Nostr, and many more.
It is where we fight dictators and see the truth unmasked. Telegram is where we share information which is sensored, filtered, and banned everywhere else.
When the Islamic regime chocked our internet to death, Telegram proxies came to our rescue and kept us alive and united in information world.

None of get what I am talking about, because none of you are living in the darkness that I live in. Telegram is our only lantern in this long black night.

Odd thing to say on nostr
I learned nostr from telegram. I wouldn't know of it for years if it wasn't discussed there.
nostr:npub1vaqy3d0kvzxt3nwx2kd33ch8g0g5y4h48cckkwqpqgech6vjxccqrupd34: I agree with you and I can on the other hand understand nostr:npub1cpazafytvafazxkjn43zjfwtfzatfz508r54f6z6a3rf2ws8223qc3xxpk why saying this here on nostr:
It's a uncomfortable reality that Telegram has gained so much momentum when WhatsApp was the only mainstream Messenger to be used by the borad public. Telegram was at the right time available with smooth onboarding and outstanding features in a lot of use cases.
A lot of people, me included, traded the shitty WhatsApp metadata surveillance and experience with migrating friends and family to Telegram, because is was the only viable option to even make the hardcore Whatsapper willing to move to another messenger at all.
Signal was nerdy at that time (think back how they managed Group joining processes at that time for example) and nothing else for large group and channel management with a decent peer to peer communication was available at that time imo.
Now the softened Whats App crowd people are sticking with the still but more and more obvious broken Telegram platform.
Imo we need to build another experience for normie users to say heart-fully yes to trying another messenger AGAIN (after they have tried maybe 3 or 4 and are stressed out about fragmentation of their communication and still bound to legacy channels like email).
Or in other words: Make an argument for "the medium is the message (as well)".
I'm sad that this is the current state of oppositionists. Everyone not streamlined to a mainstream compatible and tolerated behavior and communication scheme will be deplatformed one day.
On platforms the question is not if you will be deplatformed but when. Telegram is not different (unfortunately). And you can feel the strain in centralized Telegram Group Management since many years: deplatformization starts in Telegram groups and ends in total Telegram deplatformization.
Sad, but 🤷
