A classic verge article. Also I find it dangerous to say things that may make people think that the kremlin had any control over telegram, it has not, in fact it tried very hard to block it in Russia but failed royally and thats a pattern with Russia. They are aware that what is left of their economy so deeply depends on the Western Internet that blocking it is just too damaging and they got that when they tried to block telegram and took large chunks of the internet down while telegram just chucked on. Pavel knows what happened to Vkontakte, and he won't let that be repeated.
I like using RSS. I experimented with trying to get threads accounts into my RSS reader using the Mastodon method but just added .rss to the user's page. Unfortunately doesn't work....
There seems to be an overall problem with federation and rss though. Ideally, you would want rss feeds to come in as though you were viewing the content through your home instance in order to facilitate commenting on posts and what not. But I have not found a way to do so. I may wind up writing my own scraper.

YouTube disallowing adblockers, Reddit charging for API usage, Twitter blocking non-registered users. These events happen almost at the same time. Is this one of the effects of the tech bubble burst?

TIL that producers of the 1980 STAR WARS Christmas music album replaced the lead singer for the track "R2-D2 We Wish You a Merry Christmas" with the 17 y/o kid who was sweeping floors at the studio, and he nailed it. His name was Jon Bon Jovi. (en.wikipedia.org)
