I had a time where I had to make new friends in a new city, and what I learned is that you have to take initiative a lot in the beginning of a new friendship. You have to suggest something to do together maybe the first 2 - 4 times. After some time it should be more equal if not find some other friends.

Maybe Write Freely? You get 3 blogs for 6 dollars a month or you can host it yourself since it’s open source.

If people actively pay for this, they are bloody idiots.

It’s owned by Meta/Facebook a company that’s makes its money spying on users. Signal or Simplex Chat are much better choices.

I think something like Simplex Chat is easier to use.

I’m sure the Saudis are super fair and would not dream of targeting queer people.

She links to a news article: https://www.saudigazette.com.sa/article/641746/SAUDI-ARABIA/Etidal-Telegram-remove-over-16-million-extremist-contents-in-early-2024

I don’t think Telegram denies doing mass surveillance. They might deny targeting queer groups and claim to only target extremist, whatever that means.

Maybe not Russia, but they sure are working with a certain government:

I mean it’s pretty bad to practice mass surveillance.

It’s not nothing if Telegram makes people believe they only share their location in a limited manner, but instead broadcast it to the whole world. That’s a serious breach of trust. I don’t know why Telegram users keep making excuses for that platform.
