Interesting that the author highlights Telegram as associated with crypto bros and the far right. In my circles, Telegram is most known as used by whistleblowers and uncensored Ukraine war reporters. I suppose this is the obvious niche for "alternative" platforms - take anything that's banned or downranked on the mainstream platforms but for which there is still a substantial consumer demand.
