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.

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

[–] [email protected] 10 points 23 hours ago* (last edited 23 hours 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] 3 points 5 hours 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

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

[–] [email protected] 3 points 22 hours ago (1 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 8 points 17 hours 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.

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

[–] [email protected] 5 points 21 hours ago* (last edited 21 hours ago)

Lol you madlads

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

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] 3 points 16 hours ago

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

[–] [email protected] 4 points 18 hours ago

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