What are the (numerous concrete) reasons that Telegram messenger is such a helpful platform for sharing resources and building community?

What makes Telegram messenger different as a social media tool set especially considering what people are discovering about how social media affects them?

1. Lack of predatory dopamine/seratonin alogrythm
2. Easy to view colors, no violent contrast
3. Allows both private and public function
4. Can function as neural network substitute
5. Volume capacity for groups, chat, members allows for developing content
6. Both mobile and desktop applications allow for both on the spot conversations as well as lengthy developed publishing
7. Lack of targeted ads

8. It's easy to change the colors and change to several differently colored dark modes also!

9. This has been a major disability and communications support aid for my neurological function.

10. Does not artificially restrict access to speech to text.

11. Allows for ease of audio recording even with Internet connectivity turned off (supports decreased EMF exposures).

12. Allows for audio communications of severely disabled individuals when no other form of communication is possible.

13. Includes functions that allow for custom bots to help with tasks; for instance, to transcribe audio messages that are a individual's only means of communicating at the time.

' This is the story of how I became whole. Some days, it feels like both fire and water live within me. They dance and swirl around one another. In the morning when I wake up, each bows to the other, honoring themselves as equals, as beautiful. When I go to sleep at night they wish each other good dreams. They teach me how it could have been when Columbus first stepped upon Taino shores: a meeting of two long lost brothers, embracing each other and celebrating their unique cultures. They teach me how things can be for our children in the future.

Because that’s what matters most, doesn’t it? Not how the story goes… but how it ends. We each hold a pen. Let us co-author a story of how humanity fell in love with itself and its Mother Earth once again. '

Thanks to our partner Jed Diamond for the October 5, 2020 article in the Willits News (Ukiah, CA) “Partnerism: Humanity’s Next Great Adventure for the Post-Coronavirus World“. Diamond shares his understanding of Riane Eisler’s work in cultural evolution in the context of relations between women and men; and how a new awareness of partnership systems, or Partnerism, can help the wounds of age-old hierarchical domination patterns.

Diamond: “At a time when many women were blaming men for the dysfunctional state of the world, it was refreshing to find a scholar who recognized that both men and women have been harmed by a dominator system and both sexes need to come together in order to heal our relationship with ourselves, each other, and the community of life on planet Earth”.
