This morning I’m reminded of that one time Elon Musk, DHH, and the entire merry band of podcasting numpties and RW culture warriors decided that Signal was *less secure* than Telegram because me and some “woke” people like the NPR CEO were affiliated and went on about how they were pivoting to Telegram.

I am not actually affiliated, but why stop at being wrong for only one reason.

Telegram has a lot to question; worth waiting to see more about this arrest for sure. And yes, use Signal and Proton for matters where your privacy is a concern. Some info we have out there and don’t care about, but some things, we want to proopey protect.
