Dream come true. Finally some good news for us substance enjoyers. With localmonero gone and TG selling out to the glowies, it's good to see not all is lost.
TG selling out? Was it not always like this, with all its censorship and attempts to combat anonymity? Weird to put it next to Tails, Tor or Localmonero.
No? There's a pretty good reason every criminal used telegram. I've never seen any attempts at combatting anonymity much less censorship.
Likely TG got unbanned in Russia for cooperating with LEOs there, but while awful, that doesn't really matter if you're a westerner, even Ukrainian armed forces used it, and for the average substance enjoyer it was still much safer to use than any Five Eyes app due to its intentional highly decentralised complexity, and unlike Signal it actually works and is pleasant to use. Now they are straight up handing data over to British cops.
I thought Signal was the big one?
I have in my life met two people who used signal. They did it because I suggested it. They are both senior cybersec folks.
