tangentially why is so much android stuff over telegram rather than something normal like IRC or even discord*

@izzy am curious about what android stuff is on telegram.. support? development? apk distribution?

@LottieVixen the communications for any custom ROM stuff will be telegram ahead of anything else

@LottieVixen think lineage has an IRC channel but it's the exception

@izzy huh.. thats so weird to me, I'm so used to everything being on IRC.. gosh how times have changed and for the worse

@LottieVixen I don't even know if you can use telegram on a computer
admittedly I've never looked because why would I care but it's so weird
even harder to take seriously than discord being the main communication channel

@izzy @LottieVixen you can, it even does screen sharing and video calls okay

Is uh, not the best platform you can choose, though, and squarely lands you among all the conspiracy theory, hacker, crypto, and scammer groups.

@izzy @LottieVixen like it got to the point where I knew if someone in my contacts popped up on Telegram I'd have to check in with them and people around them to make sure they weren't being actively scammed

@len @izzy yeah... I didn't consider that at the time but fuck that makes a lot more sense..
