I don’t mind the occassional memes dunking on Al-Ukraina and the Imperialist West and the occassional snippets calling out western hypocrisy and showing the barbarianism Ukrainian Civilians are facing from their own military forces; but I’m not interested in hearing about your oh-so-hot-takes on LGBT issues and using it as a way to flex your “morality” to the world. I’m sick of it already.

      This is what I use. It’s a great place to speak with actual Russians and natives of the post-soviet space and in their own social space. Here in the west, one is expected to conform to western social practices, this is not so on Telegram. It is as speaking over the phone with someone in a different environment from yourself and all of the implications which follow. I’ve learned a lot about other countries, their peoples, and their history from using Telegram and speaking with the horse’s mouth.
