Telegram.

I know I am an apologist, but there're many good groups of simple news and knowledge but also goot groups of trading and discussion.

Also it's one of the last bastions of freedom. Especially loved by people in repressed countries.

How do you find groups you might like?

[–] Dyskolos 3 points 11 months ago

Either by word-of-mouth, or the indexers of groups.

Like https://telegramchannels.me/groups

Most of mine are local-only groups for smallads or zigbee/smarthome-discussion
