I’ve heard Telegram is better for distributing Russian/right wing propaganda, so there is that…

It’s not really “better” it just has an opt in social media feature (these channels)… There’s no recommendation algorithm, it’s not pushing anything, you have to explicitly seek these channels out.

It would be like subscribing to a Lemmy community except there’s not even a “front page” feed, you have to explicitly search for it. Nobody accidentally is joining “Nazis R Us” or being subjected to their messaging.

Now is it helping these groups organize/spread information to their members… Maybe?

Telegram has a pretty relaxed moderation platform that basically is “don’t call for violence, don’t do illegal things, and we’re generally okay with it”

Worth a read (from the founder) https://t.me/durov/230

Atleast read the article before spreading misinformation 😮‍💨, telegram is completely funded by its users.
