many of us have encountered acquaintances who dazzled those around them with their charisma, extravagant parties, and remarkable tales of business success. Yet, over time, it often becomes apparent that these individuals were actively borrowing money from our circle and are now facing bankruptcy.. 🏈

Telegram is shit and getting shittier every day. I use it way too much.

Durov sounds like a manipulative liar and I had never heard Tucker Carlson before, looks like he is just a scammy journalist by the way he speaks.

Also from where is Durov taking the money he is spending like crazy on Telegram with no revenue for over 10 years?

But it's surprising that Telegram only has 30 employees (?) -- if that is even true. Good news for the scalability and viability of smaller operations that we don't need huge companies and all their bureaucracy and overhead.

not to mention the competition with activitypub, bluesky(lol), threads, elontwit. It’s a way more saturated market than when twitter launched.

The only thing that will get people’s attention is having a large set of solid apps that are fun, where you can easily switch between securely, and all have zap integration. That’s the world I want to live in. We’re not even close to that yet. We have a few almost usable apps.

I'd better go light a candle.
