(for the young ones following me: every american hoursehold had a telegram line next to the toaster oven in the kitchen until December 31, 1979)
Cyborus@fasterthanlime ah did they all dissolve from planned obsolescence on Jan 1 1980, then?
Gaelan Steele@fasterthanlime I'm like 80% sure my leg is being pulled here
gigantos@Gaelan @fasterthanlime yeah, it was typed on to a piece of paper, and delivered to your door. Only the sender needed to go visit their local telegram office.
lime!@fasterthanlime what happened to the toaster ovens?
@lime the Cold War happened..
@fasterthanlime should have kept them on then

Jay@baer @fasterthanlime Funnily enough, that means they’ve returned to the traditional style of typing entirely in capitals.
@fasterthanlime the swedish king traditionally sends a congratulatory telegram to all citizens on their 100th birthday, so we just got our definitions needlessly complicated in '13
alex@fasterthanlime now people started saying no again
Tris@fasterthanlime I really dig Telegram, give me a normal client/server app with an API any day, E2E encryption has too many compromises.
I tell people that for organising protests I use Signal, for D&D memes, it's Telegram 😁
@fasterthanlime first fight club then this, am I supposed to keep ALL my secrets secret? 😆
@fasterthanlime perhaps I didn't understand your reply?
@0atman (yes I did mean to keep your secrets secrets)
@fasterthanlime hehe, ok cool. That's why I use signals for all my cool, sexy, secret agent things!
I gotta have shared chat history, can't miss out on the Astarion memes.
Martin Ruskov@0atman @fasterthanlime well, probably organising protests is not exactly a secret? Otherwise people can't show up. In places where it's dangerous to protest, other forms of resistance might be more adequate. Just sharing my experience.
Epistomai@0atman @fasterthanlime where are d&d memes?
@epistomai @fasterthanlime Some harvest their memes from r/dndmemes but I prefer foraging organically the forests of imgur 😄
Here are some favs:
Kevin Karhan 
@fasterthanlime never had it...
Nafeon (Backup Account)@fasterthanlime until 31.12.2022 you where able to send a telegramme in Germany ~

(underfaxed)@fasterthanlime Nowadays the answer is "Yes, but I'm not a conspiracy theorist"

@fasterthanlime if im correct, the last telegram sent by any governing body was sent by one town in India to another town in India the same year the Telegram social media platform launched

Michael Daniel@fasterthanlime I never used Telegram, because I read about the creators of the platform. Weird expat Russians living in the UAE because they have problems with the mafia, and they run some kinda weird international cult. They inspire less trust than Zuckerberg and Musk.
Gytis Repečka@michaeldaniel @fasterthanlime WIRED covered Pavel Durov detailed enough: https://www.wired.com/story/how-telegram-became-anti-facebook/ Nobody should ever use Telegram app ⛔️
@gytisrepecka @fasterthanlime Yeah! That's the article I remember reading.
Florian 
@fasterthanlime Yes, i habe Telegram you can write me there
MicroBlog Castellano@fasterthanlime Here in Spain, telegrams disappeared on the 2000s. I remember sending notifications by telegram until late 90s, then discovering a text-certified "burofax" (a document sent to post office, then copied down and faxed to a second post office and sent by a postman to its destination) was cheaper.
snaprails@fasterthanlime I've never used #Telegram but I have used #Telex.
I've even worked on it and I can tell you that +80v/-80v across the fingers makes you jump a bit and say rude words. 🙂

Jan v/d Broek@fasterthanlime I received a telegram around 1990.
Hadi@fasterthanlime no since 2020
A lot of people will not get this. Too young.

@fasterthanlime when i was younger and my classmates were talking about telegram i assumed it was the old kind of telegram bc I didn't know the messenger.
So I kept insisting that telegram doesn't support images and we were very confused at each other.
