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.
