That is absolutely crazy. I wish the strength to go through that for Alexey Pertsev!

Interesting, thanks! I didn't think about it. But for a personal blog (without any kind of monetization) it is not an option, unfortunately, due to hosting/infra prices 😞

Maybe my opinion is biased. But in Russia where I was living until the beginning of 2022, only in Telegram you was able to find channels on independent media and bots, like "smart vote" (the project of russian opposition about coordinate voting against ruling party). And I understand that if opposition leader can easily create bot that would be very hard to block, then anyone, including spammer, can easily create such a bot that would be very hard to block. That is the reason why I still like Tg and thier approach to the business, when they allow almost everything to almost everyone on their platform.

Imo, it is a kind of trade-off between speech of freedom and easy automation/integration and all this spam. I'm ok with it, just a couple of marks in settings (like only my contacts can send me messages). If one wants to have a spam-free space, they can go to Facebook Messages or something like this. I can not imagine how Telegram can fight all this spam without hiring a lot of moderators like Facebook. Even to hire moderators, Telegram needs to change the business model and start selling user data for advertising.

As open source replacement of google drive I would prefer to use Nextcloud

I guess, that https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/c/piracy would be a better place for such a post.

I'm not sure that lemmy users are different in this from user of Reddit/HackerNews/Facebook/etc.

Heavy plus. Especially due to the fact, that the app stores notes/todos as a plain human-readable text (org-mode format), no proprietary formats or vendor-lock to the app.

To be honest, I do not understand, why people try to judge quotes by its authors. If Adolf Hitler once said that Erarth is round, the authorship doesn't make this quote automatically false. Even bloody dictators can say sometimes something truly, whats the problem here?
