right. That's super sus.
One thing I don't get is how is Telegram being blocked if alternative clients can still reach its infrastructure? What am I missing here?
Is it a "users in Russia vs. users outside of Russia" thing? Or is Telegram "blocked" by being removed from the Play Store only, not on the network level? Or do these alternative clients not work from within Russia (well, apart from Telega I guess)?
