<![CDATA[Censorship in ubports matrix room]]>Hey, a few minutes ago there was a discussion about project dependency with Telegram and only two of my messages with links to Kremlingram were removed as "off-topic", but many funny messages like "don't know who to blame in Russian-Ukrainian" are still there.

In my personal opinion, this is far from fair play, so I ask for comments from community members.

It's mainly because Canonical amd Telegram had some kind of a partnership and there has been a native Telegram app for Ubuntu Touch right from the start. We even have push notifications working until now.

Moving to Matrix is ideal but that would mean a need for a good native app and an intentional push and effort.

"Hard" politic put aside, I'm still wondering why an open source community don't use an open source tool.
So why not preferring Mastodon over Telegram?
Every choice we make, such as choosing an open source system like GNU/Linux over blobed or proprietary software, is kind of "politics".

We do Ubuntu Touch and UBports, that is it. There are other places for that but not here.
