      Why is Telegram “insane”?

      Because you get people who think other people’s opinions are “programmed”, or that those people are “brainwashed”.

      Telegram serves useful purposes. Unfortunately, it can also be a breeding ground for the tin foil hat folks.

      OP’s programming mandates it.

      Edit: the next step is to accuse anyone who disagrees with that characterization of being a “Russian” or “Chinese” bot or even a “tankie” if I say anything that wouldn’t belong in Bob Dole’s campaign platform from 40 years ago. It’s so pervasive among lemmy.world users that “programming” is the only word I know of that captures how brainwashed into fighting this tribalist “culture war” they actually are.
