Furs & Telegram: what gives?
6 years ago
Someone explain to me why Telegram is so huge in the furry community, please?
The last time I checked out Telegram, it didn't (officially) let you run multiple profiles simultaneously, or otherwise support multi-pseudonymity in any way. So you can't be both BigGayFurryDragon420 and Charlie Smith on your phone on Telegram, you have to commit to one of those identities.
Which ultimately means that for most furs, you can choose to use Telegram on your phone for chatting with your normie meatspace friends, or your horny internet friends, but not both.
That seems like it *should* be a knock-out criterion that prevents adoption of Telegram inside of fetish communities, but yet I see furs touting their Telegram handles all the time. I don't get it, and I wish someone would explain it to me.
