it got big in people's minds earlier. my experience over the last 5 years has been that the only people still using telegram are fascists and cishet eastern europeans. queer folks in eastern europe mostly moved to signal (again. this is my experience. it's purely anecdotal)

Unfortunately the vr pirates that crack the games I want to try only use telegram.. So I have to use it to get their releases, but they prob fit the categories you listed...

nah for sure. there's a lot that goes on on telegram. just don't put anything that incriminates you on it

And furries. For some reason furries are all over telegram.

noted! wonder why they're not on signal? seems like with how common queer identities are in the furry community there'd be more desire to avoid a platform with russian ties

All my weed dealers use it where I am, so I think of it only as a drug app.
