Information is easy to find — but trust is harder.

The messaging app has become a key channel for news about the Russian invasion of Ukraine. But the government’s relationship with it is complicated.

    Telegram was adopted by millions during the covid scam when utube, fbook, twitter, instagram, linkdin and all other mainstream platforms began their censorship regime in collaboration with government and big pharma. It was an interesting paradigm shift. But I fear, all those who think differently than the government “group think” have actually been corralled into a walled garden, trapped into another corporate monopoly. That’s why i’m encouraging the shift from Telegram to the fediverse/matrix.

      Dude, you are not going to find a welcoming audience for your demented conspiracy theories here.

      P.S. COVID-19 is real, and it’s still killing people.

        It is true. I’ve experienced it. Nearly died. Hope OP doesn’t experience the same. Life changing experience for me that’s for sure.

          Was a really grim few weeks for me, luckily I was vaccinated, and covid still kicking my arse.

          People who think it was a scam are not worth dealing with, lacking the intelligence for anything worthwhile. Amazingly, they all change their tune when they catch it though.

            Yeah I got it twice, and it ended up costing me several thousand dollars. It isn’t a joke at all. Get vaccinated folks!

      Antivaxx, right-wing conspiracy horseshittery is explicitly unwelcome around these parts. You should really leave and not come back, and definitely stop sending more of your kind here.
