  Funny how they just operated on open-ish, highly accessible social media, yet Telegram has zero liability for hosting it, and seemingly little motivation to find such things.

  It’s almost like trusting commercial social media to be decent arbiters, in exchange for their legal protection, isn’t working out…

    Telegram has basically zero liability for hosting it

    Not sure if you heard the news but the founder was put in jail for it for a while. He’s now complying with gov requests to remove chat groups.

  Whole plays glows like it’s bioluminescent. A shame.

      monero (xmr) is an untraceable cryptocurency

      TG is a bank

      KYC means know your costumer

      atomic swaps are a way of buying some crypto for other crypto

      DNMs I think are darknet markets

      I made a PayPal account like 10 years ago. The only thing you needed is an email and password.

      I have no real name on there and no PII, technically my bank card is attached but on PP itself there’s no KYC.

    could we get a how-to from you about buying Monero and atomic swaps and all that?

      Step one seems to be “find a new market” now that you cant use this one anymore.
