11·29 days agoThis is offtopic here, but here is an answer 🙄 (click to expand)
why do you stand against Telegram as a secure and optimal solution for the majority
Because it isn’t secure. It is marketed as being secure, and it is not. It is snake oil.
Just to clarify, are you aware Telegram is blocked in Russia by the government
yes, i am aware that they are (again) currently blocked. i’m curious your theory for why they were unblocked after the previous blocks? (note: please don’t actually reply to this question here; see end of this comment first)
mostly because the former does not want to share data with the government standing for the privacy, if I am not mistaken?
yes, you are mistaken.
Russia has strengthened and later weakened their restrictions on Telegram various times over the years for reasons which are probably unknowable without insider information. What is clear is that Telegram is absolutely sharing data (which they’ve chosen to design their service such that they can have access to) with various governments at various times; assuming that they never would share any with Russia is nonsensical. The extent to which they willingly share which data with which governments, versus which governments access data without their cooperation (by compromising their servers or coercing their engineers, which gives access to message contents due to their lack of e2ee) is not particularly interesting.
Beyond that, I recommend that you post on !nostupidquestions@lemmy.world or somewhere similar if you need people to explain why telegram is offtopic in communities about privacy technology. (This discussion is very offtopic in this thread so I won’t reply further here. If you really feel the need to argue about the above I recommend you do it in a new thread somewhere it isn’t offtopic; if you tag me maybe i’ll reply there.)
And I never got the actual reason
imo the reason is pretty clear in the modlog you’re linking to. the ban duration was disproportionate though, so, i just unbanned you. (please do not advocate for the use of telegram in !privacy@lemmy.ml though! lmao)
This led to a few larger instances blocking it (.world I think is the kargst to have done so) blocking it, so their users cannot access *.ml communities.
Huh? Lemmy.world has not blocked lemmy.ml, nor have (correct me if i’m wrong?) any other large instances.
Here is this very comment from me (on lemmy.ml) viewable on lemmy.world, btw.
The existing chess community on lemmy.ml/c/chess seems to be dead
it looks like !chess@lemmy.ml is averaging a few posts per month this year and has 2.4k subscribers; not very active but i wouldn’t call it dead.
moderators are not reachable
the mods do seem inactive; i and other lemmy.ml admins remove spam if/when it gets reported (which has happened four times this year). if someone (with some posting history) wants to be added as a mod of it just let me know and i’ll add you.
and is hosted on .ml which is defederated by many instances
huh? which instances have defederated lemmy.ml?
9·2 months agosure.
Arnold Schwarzenegger taught US audiences that 'nothing is inconceivable' over three decades ago
https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/nimrod has several plausible explanations which predate Bugs Bunny’s use of it
2·2 months agomoderator reports still don’t federate to other instances
you are mistaken. reports are federated from the reporter’s instance to the community’s instance, as well as to the instances of all moderators of the community, and to the instance of the user who posted the comment or post being reported.
some kind of driver problem?
6·2 months agoThe head of France’s biggest film producer, Canal+, has said the group will no longer work with hundreds of cinema figures who signed a petition voicing concern over the growing influence of the rightwing billionaire owner Vincent Bolloré.
[…]
Speaking in Cannes on Sunday, the Canal+ chief executive, Maxime Saada, called the petition “an injustice toward the Canal+ teams, who are committed to defending the independence of Canal+ and the full diversity of its choices”.
He added: “I will no longer work with and I no longer want Canal to work with the people who signed that petition.”
funny way to demonstrate his organization’s independence from its owner

that’s satire, right?
Okay it’s not fake-fake, just so awful you need a PhD in Chinese Language to understand it

amazing! it’s great to see that is still being maintained after so many years.
You don’t need tone for sarcasm, because it can be inferred from context. Check out British (“dry”) sarcasm.
you’re being sarcastic here, right? /s
yes !selfawarewolves@lemmy.world does in fact have only 7 posts.
!selfawarewolves@lemmy.ml is another community which exists, and has 16 posts so far (six of which are from me…)
