@rtlc@mindly.social thank you for reading it.
Yes, absolutely, Telegram has always been extremely sus. I am hoping that this investigation will help some people move elsewhere.
That said, network effects are extremely strong and people will find excuses to continue using it. Which is why every single person that decides to leave it is so very important.
Everyone on Telegram is a reason for someone else to be there. Anyone who leaves is that one reason less for someone.

@rysiek@mstdn.social @rtlc@mindly.social It's a proprietary platform that doesn't allow Free Software clients (though the underlying service is compromised in such a way that such clients couldn't mitigate its issues) and collects user information (similarly to spyware, a type of malware). Of course it's sus.
