I wanna keep up to date with events going on in the world but I’m sick and tired of the blatant queerphobia and reactionaries that seem to be in every goddamn channel, and the comments sometimes contain outright fascists

The one I had been using was DD Geopolitics but they won’t fucking stop with the reactionary queerphobia bullshit (what’s the point in even talking about queer people in a negative light when you fuckers know it breeds queerphobia? Maybe you just don’t care) and not banning their shitty commenters

    It seems oddly specific that you’re asking about Telegram news channels, which is just about the tiniest subset of all the journalism that exists in the world.

      Some of the news sources that I do use (telesur, CGTN, Global Times) don’t report on things throughout the day like I can get from telegram, that’s why really

      If I can find good alternatives I’ll use that but I’m used to rolling updates throughout the day

        It sounds like you’re using Telegram in lieu of an RSS reader, which would give you access to a massively larger pool, including teleSUR and CGTN.

          do you have a recommendation for a good one without annoying ads that is decent on mobile and desktop?

            I use Reeder on MacOS (~10 USD) & iOS (~5 USD), which sync with each other over iCloud.

      telegram imo has a great interface, i like sending the stupidest stickers i can find to people… it’s like a better version of whatsapp and it’s neat to have chats with friends, groups, and channels
