This is what I imagined and I've heard stories about pedo crap, but never looked it up. The reason why I'm asking is that on twatter a lot of "based NS girls" with AI profile pics are trying to get people to join "NS" discord servers. It immediately raised my suspicion.
After using it for a bit - and deleting my account - it seems to me it's a very thin veneer of actual use-cases (technology discussion, IRC replacement, gaming chat) over a very large cesspool of porn, pedophilia, and jewery.
Considering all that, and the fact that Telegram exists, it's extremely likely that all these based "NS" discord channels are feds and fools who fell for it. Telegram is far from perfect, but nowhere near as bad.
Telegram is fine as long as you realize someone is capable of watching. I use it for just general "how, hi are you?" stuff...but would never send anything sensitive over it.
