If they ban Telegram, that should open the eyes of those on the fence.

Why would they kill an app that allows communication even when the internet is down?

Why?

Because they are losing control over us.

telegram takes your phone number when you start to use it, so that's why I never used it

Telegram is for normies and social media aspect of it. This makes it easier with social media junkies in easing people off of What's App and Facebook Messenger. I also like that they have a full desktop app making it easier to use.

Telegram is the only app I have ever given my phone# to. This is also why I didn't sign up for Parler.

Telegram was the easiest to convert people over to because it worked like What's App and similar to Facebook Messenger as well.

And now Minds is being attacked because it works like a hybrid of Facebook, Instagram, & Twitter. Only Minds functions on the Ethereum block chain.

These companies have to make use of alternate app stores and allow installing their app directly from their website, at least for Android/FOSS users. iPhone users are kind of fucked.

There is a way to do it but unfortunately most non-technical people can't be bothered with all those hoops to jump through. I personally don't do shit on my phone.
