Winning the war Ukraine style, hm? They learned nothing

Why does every social app eventually become unusable? Specifically looking at @telegram and @bsky.app this time around.

Like bookmarking Public channels

I have seen people being able to comment without joining

I want each channel to only be in 1 folder.

There isn't a way to see un categorizes channels.

There isn't a way to see Channels in 2 groups.

Ich habe Probleme, mir wieder ein Telegram-Konto einzurichten. Darum möchte ich vorab fragen, ob ich hier auch in Deutsch kommunizieren kann.

I am a member of a file sharing release group for context.

Pavel Durov on the recent killing of Charlie Kirk:

Charlie Kirk fought for open debate, and enemies of truth hated him for it. Free expression is under attack everywhere. Once free speech is lost, every other freedom soon follows. We must continue Charlie’s mission to defend it. [twitter]

While Charlie is irreplaceable, the world definitely needs more people who defend freedom of speech and engage in open debate. Charlie’s bravery, patience and eloquence will inspire generations. [twitter]

Charlie was always ready to defend his views in debate. His opponents couldn’t win fairly, so they killed him instead. I may not agree with everything he said, but I’d die for his right to say it - on his Telegram channel http://t.me/CharlieKirk [twitter]

On Telegram:

@charliekirk’s death is an assault on free speech. He fought for open debate, and enemies of truth hated him for it.

Free expression is under attack worldwide. Once free speech is lost, every other freedom soon follows. We must continue Charlie’s mission to defend it [telegram]

So Snoop Dogg recently launched his telegram channel and yesterday also published a song on his yt channel about Telegram and Telegram Gifts. Probably the first sponsorship Telegram paid for.

In his telegram channel Snoop Dogg also posted a TMZ article about this thing and the gifts sellout which accompanied the song's publication.

The youtube comments are the most boring hype farming attempt I've seen in a long time, it looks like a window to NFT twitter a few years ago

It looks like Telegram has recently switched to GPT4 for in-app translations:

• https://t.me/s/tgbreaking/436
• https://t.me/s/NewsAndTipsNT/3478

In-app translations of single messages, which are free for all users, have been out of service for more than a week. Telegram was supposedly using Google's translation services, behind a client API proxy method that the apps were calling to request the translation of a message. Before that, when the feature was first introduced, the apps were directly calling a private/undocumented Google Translate http endpoint (weirdly hardcoded in the sourcecode)

Durov recently announced an upcoming deep Grok (lol) integration in the apps

This is just to keep track user-level AI integrations in the app

Just reporting here an exchange between Durov and the French government that happened in the past few days

It started with Durov posting this message in his telegram channel:

A Western European government (guess which 🥖) approached Telegram, asking us to silence conservative voices in Romania ahead of today’s presidential elections. I flatly refused. Telegram will not restrict the freedoms of Romanian users or block their political channels.

You can’t “defend democracy” by destroying democracy. You can’t “fight election interference” by interfering with elections. You either have freedom of speech and fair elections — or you don’t. And the Romanian people deserve both.

...statement which received a reply by the French Ministry for Europe and Foreign Affairs Twitter account: https://x.com/francediplo_EN/status/1924138188722815052

Durov later tweeted a few more information (explicit name of the official from which the request was received):

This spring at the Salon des Batailles in the Hôtel de Crillon, Nicolas Lerner, head of French intelligence, asked me to ban conservative voices in Romania ahead of elections. I refused. We didn’t block protesters in Russia, Belarus, or Iran. We won’t start doing it in Europe.

Musk replied twice to durov's tweets

Just leaving this here for the record

Telegram is one of the most popular messaging tools, chosen by many online services to stay connected with their audiences. Major shadow libraries Z-Library and Anna's Archive used Telegram until this week, when both accounts were terminated for copyright infringement. While these websites offer infringing content, both were cautious to avoid copyright troubles on Telegram.

This is similar to how FaceTime and other calling apps work, allowing you to switch apps while keeping your friend in a little PiP (picture in picture) floating window

Note this currently only works for one on one calls, which are also e2e encrypted

Banned from telegram with no explanation.

I made a comment on one telegram channel about Ukraine. And almost immediately got permabanned from telegram.

Like wth. Why so heavy handed? They could have just banned me from the channel, why entire telegram?

Is there any recourse other than getting a new phone number?

❤️ Thanks everyone for your support and love!

Last month I got interviewed by police for 4 days after arriving in Paris. I was told I may be personally responsible for other people’s illegal use of Telegram, because the French authorities didn’t receive responses from Telegram.

Telegram announced on Wednesday that it's adding new ways for creators to make money on its platform.
