For news?
Both provide decent coverage of global happenings.
Telegram? How so? I'm still only using it for chatting. How would you even find anything on Telegram? The simple global search? I wouldn't like to join random shady groups found through there.
Not sure either, but trying to follow the war in Ukraine has taught me both Ukrainians and Russians get a surprising amount of their news from various Telegrams channels.
The search sucks, but you can find quite a lot of interesting stuff if you have a jumping off point by checking out the groups they forward from. I’ve discovered a few great groups like that.
Most of the stuff that comes up on search is spam or garbage though, agreed. I’ve found the majority of news groups I follow through twitter.
Yandex image search is actually useful, especially after Google destroyed their image search.

My few attempts using Yandex image search have had the horrible ancient internet issue of often showing gore. I had safe search off, so ultimately I should have been prepared, but fair warning to anyone else using it.
How do you find google Telegrams? For me most seem bot spam

The irony of someone recommending Russian platforms to evade "censorship" is astounding.

My thought as well. As a Russian I wouldn't touch them with a 10 foot pole.
Also Telegram is like second internet, nobody talks about!
