Neo-Nazis head to encrypted SimpleX Chat app, bail on Telegram

Dozens of neo-Nazis are fleeing Telegram and moving to a relatively unknown secret chat app that has received funding from Twitter founder Jack Dorsey.

In a report from the Institute for Strategic Dialogue published on Friday morning, researchers found that in the wake of the arrest of Telegram founder Pavel Durov and charges against leaders of the so-called Terrorgram Collective, dozens of extremist groups have moved to the app SimpleX Chat in recent weeks over fears that Telegram’s privacy policies expose them to being arrested. The Terrorgram Collective is a neo-Nazi propaganda network that calls for acolytes to target government officials, attack power stations, and murder people of color.

Glowie is online slang for stassi types... Jan6 strung together abunch of mouth breezers for the Insurrection. There clowns were organized and support by the federal agents.

Similar thing happened with "BLM" protests although those might have been taken over after they blew up.

Current working theory of these events is that glowies play a key role in such events.

There is also the legend of some military base having too much reddit traffic too.

Either way, got to make your fed work for you, paying him good money anyway.

It was no legend. A (since-deleted) reddit blog post called out Eglin AFB by name.

The other two cities listed under most "addicted" have large data centers.

The conspiracy theory though... Meh.
