For the Record: Kamil Galeev works at the Woodrow Wilson Center, a DC based think tank. His Ukraine-War threads on twitter are informative, but to be taken with a grain of salt.

And I think in the case of "To put it simply, [Russia]'s going full fascist." with a couple of grains more.

Western world thinks of the situation mostly as "Bad Putin oppressing good people of Russia" but unfortunately fascism does not work that way. And if Russia "wins" over Ukraine, fascism would demand the next victory.

There should be a disclaimer about this in the thread title.

Why is author attacking Durov? Not a good look.

I think hackernews has a lot of hate for Telegram.

But it does feel a little silly and betrays the point that they target Durov; a person who has had nearly all his assets seized by the Russian government and has lost his company (VK) to government control.

Telegram was his “fuck you” to the Russian authorities and they tried to ban it a bunch of times (which caused chaos for a lot of people using the cloud during those times).

I don’t think he’s some kind of Russian asset, bowing to your government does not make him complicit, Zuck is not responsible for Iraq because Facebook complies with court orders for example, and it’s hard for me not to think he’s against Russia; especially not when he’s in exile.
