Not so soon. Only if Putin looses power and coalition of Pirate Party, Communist Party and maybe Russia of the future(if they will survive) gains it. And maybe 20-50 years to restore from Putin.
Russian presidential debate:
Not sure about Signal. I remember times when it was phone number focused. Having visible phone number in Russia means FSB might knock on your door.
The only thing better than telegram I can think of and relatively popular is Matrix. But even in my university I don’t know about anyone else, who uses it.
A subset of society that’s marginalized at best and killed at the worst doesn’t care about who can read and influence their communication? That seems highly shortsighted to me.
That we know of. Given that the company behind Telegram has been involved in various sketchy situations I wouldn’t bet my wellbeing on a service that might or might not share information with a corrupt government…
Share informarion with Putin? No, very unlikely. Ban opposition channels during elections? Confirmed yes.
Apple banned opposition’s apps durung elections too. And Google.
lavender.ltgc.i2p exists. It’s Lemmy instance avaliable from i2p and tor. But it’s mostly pony instance.

Telegram is basically the safest place in Russia’s digital space.
Yep. Alternatives are:

these people must have been living under a rock
Russians are very advanced when it comes to the internet.

Why from that side of beaver curve?

Maybe opposite? Maybe women live lomger because they retire earlier?
There is russian meme “voting for stool just to vote against UR”.
If you say for example that Cuba under Castro had a successful literacy program, then there are people who will accuse you of being a tankie just for that.
$COUNTRY had a successful literacy program under $LEFT_GOVERMENT.
on the basis of evergreening IP laws (a fair complaint, imo)
Hard to disagree. Nature isn’t something to be patented.
