Telegram is one of the most popular messaging tools, chosen by many online services to stay connected with their audiences. Major shadow libraries Z-Library and Anna's Archive used Telegram until this week, when both accounts were terminated for copyright infringement. While these websites offer infringing content, both were cautious to avoid copyright troubles on Telegram.

isn't this the same telegram whose ceo was arrested for helping proliferate csam

They don't give a shit about child abuse or pedophilia. There's no money to be made there. It's about copyright and political censorship.

What a bunch of pussies

But it’s okay to use them to train LLMs…

It seems Lucida channel was somehow affected

[–] [email protected] 55 points 1 week ago

Just put Telegram in the same pool with Discord, Skype, Teams and all that. They're more at home there and no longer the status of for the people.

Time to go to the cesspool Matrix unfortunately

sad XMPP noises

Why is matrix a cesspool? What makes it more of a cesspool than telegram?

[–] [email protected] 13 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (2 children)

CSAM bots advertising illegal telegram groups. Absolutely disgusting. These were prevalent in multiple public channels including the piracy one that I briefly checked out.

I understand matrix is completely unregulated, but I don't want to see even the words describing such filth

[–] [email protected] 5 points 6 days ago

It's not completely unregulated at all. The mods totally have the power to ban bots, just find a place that's actually moderated at all

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Did that not exist on telegram? How did telegram manage it?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Not to the piracy channels that I'm on now. They're moderated.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 week ago

Moderated matrix channels don't seem to have these bots. Idk I found these bots too on some public channels, I left thinking those channels were fake.

Or just one massive signal group chat

Is it just me or does signal seem like an NSA honeypot?

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

Lol you madlads

PS methinks you should delete your link after some time, 24 hours at the most.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 week ago (2 children)

How do signal chats work if I already use signal with my full name? Can I say for a group chat to just use my nick instead?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 week ago

You'd need a second Signal instance. There's only global privacy options.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 week ago

I run a second Signal for that in the secure folder of my Samsung phone.

Euh it is still to young IMO. And NOT user friendly, you pretty much need to self host or it is very centralized in the way it works. Which is partially due to it not having many users yet.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 6 days ago

Yeah and it won't until it adds features non technical users want and fixes things like easy profile syncing across multiple devices.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (1 children)

They need to ban CSAM telegram bots in Matrix first

[–] [email protected] 2 points 6 days ago

Wait what that's a thing?... A sad world we live in.
