I sort of want to see what these things are like but I don’t want to give them any data or contribute to them in any way haha. I’ve heard the Queen of Canada uses it which intrigues me

Why is Telegram “insane”?
OP’s programming mandates it.
Edit: the next step is to accuse anyone who disagrees with that characterization of being a “Russian” or “Chinese” bot or even a “tankie” if I say anything that wouldn’t belong in Bob Dole’s campaign platform from 40 years ago. It’s so pervasive among lemmy.world users that “programming” is the only word I know of that captures how brainwashed into fighting this tribalist “culture war” they actually are.
Ok
It’s like far-left rhetoric (especially the kind that seems to come from people who have never seen how e.g. spoilers work or who have never had to find a compromise) isn’t actually that popular, so you see pushback from the instance that dominates the user population, especially with it having users who aren’t “ideologically aligned” with a specific instance and who may have a perspective outside the bubble. I don’t know, just a theory.
Because you get people who think other people’s opinions are “programmed”, or that those people are “brainwashed”.
Telegram serves useful purposes. Unfortunately, it can also be a breeding ground for the tin foil hat folks.
Where do you NOT get those people?
Good point. Perhaps I should have said something like “Telrgram has a disproportionately high percentage of tin foil hat folks.
