Telegram has become a window into war (www.theverge.com)

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.

OK so what Telegram channels are good to follow here?

All of these are strictly Ukrainian though. Following some Russian sources as well would make sense to get fuller picture.

(I'm not providing examples though as I don't really follow either. Several months into the war I gave up trying to sort propaganda from something substantial)

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.

[–] Jackolantern@lemmy.world 33 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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.

[–] Wodge@lemmy.world 19 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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.

[–] popekingjoe@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago

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

I hear there is another “to be maybe federated” social network currently making the rounds, we’re they could find a captive audience …

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.

[–] Jackolantern@lemmy.world 17 points 1 year ago

Oh wow that why I love lemmy. Thank you

[–] DankMemeMachine@lemmy.world 37 points 1 year ago

So what is the government "group think"? That 7 million deaths and counting is bad?

[–] Wodge@lemmy.world 16 points 1 year ago

Today's idiot. Hi. Please stop posting.

[–] CrypticFawn@lemmy.dbzer0.com 12 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Imagine being someone that thinks Covid is a scam.

That would be embarrassing. 🤣🤡

[–] cheeseblintzes@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago

I agree with the other commenter... you should leave and not come back. Tell the others.

[–] hellothere@sh.itjust.works 5 points 1 year ago

Absolute fucking clown.
