There was just a fine on telegram yesterday for not "complying" with Russian authorities which is another proof they are doing great.

Here's another response I got from someone from radicle regarding this.
That's a great Q.
Radicle can support a federated model, where known major seeds are connected with multiple smaller clusters. >Radicle supports also completely self-sustaining and disconnected clusters of nodes networked between themselves >within that cluster. And of course any other network topography in between.
Additionally, similar to how one can "star" a repo on GitHub, one can "seed" a repo on Radicle. "Starring" a repo is >often a toast of support, akin to an emoji reaction, with little more effect other than that, but in Radicle "seeding" a >project, goes beyond incrementing a vanity metric: it actively supports propagating that project across the Radicle >network. The count of seedings per repo can also be used as a differentiator between original and "copy-cat" ones.
It happened too many times but I can't find a single case, please enlght me. I will use telegram because it have a lot of features, good ui and easy to use
They really didn't care, they are banned in Iran too which is their 3rd biggest market. They got unbanned because Russia failed to unban it, there are no cases known yet in which telegram handed over users data to Russian authorities

I never got with these russian authority claims. Telegram is not based in russia, sure its founders are born in russia but they have taken citizenship of France for a long time now, its based in saudi arabia. I never saw a single proof of them giving data to russian authorities, they were banned in russia for that iirc but eventually got unbanned due to mass adoption. At this point these russian claims just seem racism to me.
OTOH telegram gives you option to export your whatsapp chats there making migration a bit more convenient.
For the last point, yeah it sucks a lot and fuck whoever is responsible for that...
Meanwhile I quietly switched Ms office with libreoffice on my dads PC and he didn't even notice.
