Does Telegram have anything that torrents and usenet don't?

[–] MrSoup 30 points 5 months ago

It indeed empowers common people by distributing full seasons of series all in one place in a somewhat user friendly way without "10 chicks in 10mt" popups.

A bunch of my friends, who don't even know how to install an adblocker, have a very rich catalog of things there.

Also, it is more difficult for a telegram channel to be banned than a website.

Sticker packs are a gateway drug to, well, drugs. Which you can buy on telegram too of course.

:)

I make my own thank you very much. Sticker packs are a right of passage to navigation on Telegram. We also have the gif game.

I think we've lasted 20mins of replying in gifs to each other, in context. Is a very hard "game".

It's normie-accessible

Probably not, but Telegram is very easy to use.

So are Signal, Element, Revolt and many other apps. What's to special about Telegram?

[–] [email protected] 7 points 5 months ago

It has it all and 900 million users.

Actually, yes, there are a few groups with unique niche content that isn't available anywhere else.
