Telegram can ban people for apparently no reason.
RoboSats Admin Banned From Telegram, Communications Moved to Matrix, SimpleX & Nostr
RoboSats group owner was indiscriminately banned by Telegram and thus managing the group effectively is no longer possible. As a result, the project's communications are migrating to other platforms.

Telegram is not decentralised
Matrix still leaks metadata so its not fool proof. At least they can host their own server
Try appealing a ban via their support bot too. I was banned for telling scammers to get lost. Couldn't send messages for a while.
Now i just #nostr
All centralized platforms can ban users for any reason. It's usually in the terms of service, too (not that anyone reads those). I don't remember seeing a ToS when I generated my npub though 😏
nostr fixes this.
I've been enjoying Simplex & just managed to copy my profile to a second device.
Seems pretty good for private groups.
Anyone created a decent sized private group with it?
I'd prefer nostr but I've a feeling private channels/groups are a way off.
