I sort of like converse.js. (supports OMEMO)
I host it and I've even got some normie people to use it when they want to send me something privately.
It also has an electron release, pretty sure Telegram Desktop is also electron.

Damn I didn't know about these. Latest Telegram censorship I had heard about was them deleting some terrorgram channels years ago.
Still, in comparison to what it took for re*dit and shitter cattle to come here, it's gonna take a lot more than what they are currently doing.

If you are talking about ads bringing people to your instance, I'd probably try telegram.
Ads and the platform you're gonna put them on are directly related to the people you want to attract.
There are differences even between gay fedi and dark fedi. People around these parts wouldn't tolerate banner ads and would probably change instance/client. On the other hand you could just add the ad to your profile and/or pay popular account to add it to their profiles. I'd think influencer type marketing would work.

>I was not aware telegram did ads though, so I shall take a looksie. Thanks!
Telegram itself is not doing ads, but channel operators offering ad services is very widespread. There are even analytics sites specifically made to accommodate this type of usage.
>As for influence type marketing, idk how I feel about that
I've never used IG once and I really hate marketing altogether. But it will happen, no matter the political affiliation. Best influencer marketing is done covertly anyway. Look at how easy it was for NJP to grift people on the right.

I don't get this whole obsession with clients. Even the js ones are fine.
I think a lot of people just like the discord bloat.
Telegram's success is the result of making the right choices over a very long period of time, slowly bringing whole community ecosystems over. XMPP hasn't been a viable alternative for nearly as long as Telegram has. And as long as Telegram doesn't start abusing its users it'll be difficult for alternatives to become big enough so that network effects kick in. Much like fedi really where it was *chan's/twitter's/reddit's moderators that basically attacked their own users.

I wish I was smart enough to start a successful company and hire only fedi frens.
Eventually someone will be.

I just don't like Ayan Rand at all, both what she expressed and how she went about realizing it.
>explain Dugin
He is constructing a Russian-centric imperial identity, he calls it Eurasianism. He's setting up local organizations about it, writing books about it, giving speeches about it, etc.
He mostly talks about Greek culture, Othodox Culture and how Russia is/should be the natural continuation of them, rather than the West which to him is a false embodiment of them.
Everything is about framing it in a way that Russia is at the center of it rather than the Russian identity being dependent on the West.
Other than that he is very pro-current regime. Probably that's where the supposed Ukraine invasion stuff come from.

@p @MisterRogersSnapped @Grandtheftautism @fba @sysrq
>and then some stuff that nobody wants to stand by
W-which ones? Are you talking about things he said 20 years ago?
Ayan Rand was a nutjob from beginning to end. Dugin's positions are not nearly as extreme, especially if viewed in a Russian political context. It's the completely deranged Western politics of the past decades that make Dugin seem somewhat radical.

>NazBol
This categorization can vary from "Nationalists taking tankies into account" to "edgy populism" to "commies appropriating Nazis".
Any form of Russian nationalism should accept the positives of the Communist past. This is evident if you notice how certain communist aspects, such as the public works and the Red army, are perceived.
>Dugin on Stalin
I don't know where you are getting this from. I have been on and off reading his posts for some years now and never came across something like this.
I took a look at wikipedia's source from 2012 about Dugin saying "we are for Stalin and for the Soviet Union" and came up with this:
>Question : The patriotic press is read by Soviet patriots and religious patriots, Orthodox Christians, Muslims and others. The introduction of religious lessons drives a wedge into the patriotic camp, and this split becomes very significant, don’t you think?
>Alexander Dugin : [...] wanting to unite Soviet and Russian patriots, and every time, at every stage, during one campaign or another, hostile forces manage to separate us on different sides in order to assert their disgusting Russophobic models. This must be stopped, we are for Stalin and for the Soviet Union, but the fact that Orthodoxy is the stronghold of our spiritual identity is clear to any bearer of Soviet or Orthodox identity.
And it does makes sense in this context because that's his main position, to construct a Russian national identity, and in order to do so you must take into account the Communist in order to be able to include the part of the population that is still pro-Soviet.
>She seemed like her main idea was "That was terrible...I want exactly the opposite of it."
This is a very bad way to think and always leads to failure no matter what your original intentions were.

>Never heard of guppe. What's it?
It's basically a groupbot instance.
Users created there work similarly to the BookClub group bot. If one of the members mentions the group user then the post gets repeated and shows up to everyone following the group.
>I have a lemmy instance
Oh I didn't know, what's the url?
Biggest problem I see with lemmy is that it's not compatible with pleroma.
I was thinking of forking the azorius lemmy implementation and adding pleroma support but haven't done it yet.

@Zerglingman @MK2boogaloo
Btw, music has been hit pretty hard by people not meeting and listening to music irl like they used to.
Musical subcultures are almost extinct.
Turns out music has a pretty big social element.
We should be sharing tracks and artists more often.
I wish it was possible to make a group to share music.
Maybe I should just host a guppe instance.

I'll post my favorites too after I listen to them for a while.

This sounds indeed excellent, I stopped less than 5 seconds in though so I don't spoil myself. I'll start with your other recommendations first.
Thanks for introducing them to us.

Is it allowed to donate to the AFU from inside Russia or are you talking about Russian expats?
From reading 2ch threads I noticed that Russian liberals who live outside the country were the most toxic and their writing pattern was very commonly identical to a Western liberal, filled with solipsism, materialism, hedonism, etc. That's what got me convinced that liberalism is indeed a mental disease.
