Gaza fishermen were able to go fishing for the first time in months since the Israeli terror regime prevented them from entering the sea, thanks to the Sumud flotilla

These outrageous atrocities must end now.

Whereas I've previously Tooted "Use #Signal", I'll get a bit more drastic now, and say "Don't use #Telegram

Great article by @rysiek https://rys.io/en/179.html

Songs on the Security of Networks

Telegram is indistinguishable from an FSB honeypot

Many people who focus on information security, including myself, have long considered Telegram suspicious and untrustworthy. Now, based on findings published by the investigative journalism outlet ISt

@contrapunctus@fe.disroot.org  ·  activity timestamp last week

I know many people who are aware of the importance of #FreedomRespecting software, data, and culture - and the related issues of digital sovereignty and privacy.

Paradoxically, a lot of these people also participate in, or even maintain, communities hosted on #nonfree / #proprietary / #restricted or #centralized platforms like #Telegram, #Discord, #WhatsApp, #Signal, #Instagram, #Facebook, #Twitter, #LinkedIn, #Bluesky, #GitHub, and others.

To state the obvious, each community which chooses a proprietary platform - or bridges to it - is also giving another reason for others to be on that platform. It’s reinforcing network effect.

Conversely, if these communities chose to move to free platforms, their members would be forced to move as well. In other words, these communities have the opportunity to push for change on a massive scale.

Sure, you have to reach out to people on proprietary platforms, if that’s where the majority are. But you cannot be stopping there - you must have a strategy to move people away from proprietary platforms to free platforms.

To give the example of #OpenStreetMap -

  • I announce events on free platforms sooner
  • I remind people on proprietary platforms that they should join the free platforms to get notified earlier
  • After each event, we invite people to our #XMPP channel, which is not bridged to any other platform.
  • All organizational talk takes place on our XMPP channel, which is not bridged to any other platform.
  • I minimize my participation on proprietary platforms, and communities which bridge to them. The bulk of my activity happens on free platforms.
  • I have never submitted data to Mapillary or KartaView, because their clients and servers are proprietary. All my contributions go to #WikimediaCommons and #Panoramax.

So to the people who are choosing - and therefore promoting - proprietary platforms, I ask…

How do you think things are going to change, if everyone keeps choosing what is easiest for them, and keeps choosing, supporting, and promoting proprietary platforms?

What part are you playing in making things better? Or are you just going to go with the flow of the world, even if you know it to be wrong?

They don’t like answering these questions.

Instead, I invite them to find the integrity and courage to answer them.

Or, to find the integrity and courage to make the obvious change and do the obvious right thing.

People hate it when I bring this up. Sorry, but my conscience dictates that I speak up for what is right. Silence is complicity, and it gets us nowhere.

Affaire #Telegram : la Russie avait bloqué des milliers d'adresses IP pour bloquer Telegram mais, ce faisant, avait bloqué des adresses AWS… utilisées par l'État russe.

@span strypey Because they are used to it. It's for most people difficult to change. Why do foss communies use Discord or Reddit. Why Telegram?

All equally good questions. Not only do these too have perfectly usable Free Code replacements, they're also decentralised.

For Discorpse/ Telegrim there's XMPP and Matrix apps, and public rooms can be made available via both (and IRC). For dReddit, there's Lemmy and PieFed, which federate over ActivityPub, making them part of the fediverse.

Hi everyone, it is this time of the year again to start collecting #Telegram transparency data for Q2 2025. I have started to upload some data and updated the interface to include that https://te-k.github.io/telegram-transparency/
If your country is not in the list, please take a screenshot of the data of the @transparency bot and share it here or on Github. Also if you are willing to do that 4 times a year and be added to a Signal or Telegram group, please let me know and I will invite you to the group.
Thanks !
Github link is here https://github.com/Te-k/telegram-transparency
Please share!
