This one is new to me. I was reported for some public content I posted on Telegram and as of now I'm banned from posting in the public HiveFest Telegram channel (or any other public channels on Telegram).

And this would be why we need censorship resistant systems like Hive. It's a pity we're using Telegram and not something homegrown. Something we can discuss at HiveFest! See you there.


Value for Value

For the last few months while building @v4vapp I was generously supported by the DHF. Going forward I have a much more modest support which covers direct server costs and a little of my time.

If you appreciate the work I do on and around Hive, you can express this directly: upvoting posts on Hive is great. Also consider a direct donation (there's a Tip button on Hive or a Lightning Address) on all my posts.

I heard Pavel Durov is fighting the French government because of one free speech stuff regarding telegram, and yet this supposed free is not extended to how people can actually use telegram.

Unfortunately, we don't have anything homegrown.

How else to access communication except telegram?

lots of way better and discrete progs and apps, trouble is nobody has them so you will be prety much alone in other msg apps, sucks!

Strange. Do you think this ban is part of the (new/forced upon) Telegram policy? Or some random thing, not to be understood. 🫤🤷🏼‍♂️
All the best for HiveFest and looking forward to news. 💪🏻

I think it's because I created Tommy Robinson's Telegram Channel though I don't really interact with it very much if at all today.

I almost joined Telegram to participate in the HiveFest channel. Nope.

Really? Isn't Durov presented these days as a sort of a champion standing up against governments' pressures? But a little censorship can't hurt in his own backyard, right?

I am really missing participating in the hivefest party

A true spammer Ahaha! Kidding! Enjoy the HF9 for me! I wish that I could attend it too! Have a great week!

Ooh that’s sad
And from the little I know about you, you are not the type who makes posts that are not reasonable or even spread negativity
You’re always about your project

You get people's support and move forward, doing a good job

I am happy to support your posts with upvotes and your witness with my vote.
I tru;y believe you bring great value to Hive.
As for Telegram... the irony is immense. He has often said he wouldn't censor Telegram, and often cites this stance as the reason he moves around the world.
It is sad he was arrested in France, the land of liberty.
But perhaps he is bowing to government pressure to get out of chain, but honestly I don't know.
Hopefully this was an error, and your posting ability will be restored soon.
Long Live Hive!
