Russia's LGBTQ+ community is turning to Telegram as the government cracks down on them

Coming soon to the U.S. courtesy of the GOP.

Conservatism is a plague.

Telegramm and "safe"?

Sorry, but these people must have been living under a rock (which actually is quite likely as we are talking about Russia).

Telegram has control over the content and channels and has been working with governments in the past.

LGBTQ+ tankies on lemmy.ml and hexbear have something to say

There's a Russian guy I know in some... adult roleplay circles.., kinkiest chap I know. I worry about him... He tried telling me Telegram was "safer", didn't know what he meant.
