Isn't Telegram Russian owned as well?

Lol, god Lemmy is so different than Reddit.

Asks a question, gets down voted. only two comments from users who bothered to educate. Lemmy really just a community full of knowledge gate keepers that think they are better than Reddit users. Reddit users would have at least provided and article or some knowledge.

After doing some digging Wikki does say that it owned by two Russian brothers. One who sold a social media platform of his after a Russian infiltration and Russian government pressure for him to do so.

I think I will just keep using Signal.

I think I am about done with Lemmy. I have seen post after post of smug users with shitty ways of thinking like that killing more people is going to solve the world's problems. Or that one platform is the only way to be. Or that they more about privacy and security than anyone else.

Lemmy users are just as shitty as the rest of the Internet in their own ways.
