This is actually an insane take

Furries at large don’t care about the e2ee or security features

They care that:

1. their friends are the platform

2. custom stickers of their fursonas are easy to make and import

That’s basically it. Telegram has become entirely ubiquitous in the fandom. No one group/ideology claims it as their own.

Sincerely,

a progressive leftist furry who uses TG

The furry community is in absolute shambles

Then buy a physical copy and store backups on a media server.

That or buy the media on a digital service and rip the file or screen capture it out.

Even buying a physical copy only entitles you to “ownership of a license” nowadays anyway. Ie: how Nintendo gets away with all their bs surrounding emulation.
