Being arrested for writing open source software is ridiculous.

Still, use Signal instead.

My statement was principled in the fact that code is speech, and that devs should not be jailed for open source code.
That being said, I am also not a fan of Durov or Telegram! Its not e2e encrypted, and Kremlin affiliated. I like signal much more.
I also support the Tornado Cash developers.

lol open client is not open source, it's a closed centralized platform... im not mad about Durov, im mad about Pertsev, and with all respects, i feel conflating or equating the two does a disservice to oss devs everywhere
