Here's a thought worth chewing on: comparing the Telegram era with today's info-heavy landscape, which one actually got it right? Back then, things felt more direct, more personal. Now we're drowning in data feeds and fragmented channels. Did we lose something valuable in the shift toward information overload, or did we gain better accessibility and transparency? The tradeoff between simplicity and comprehensive information access—that's the real conversation happening in Web3 communities right now.

Honestly, Telegram used to have more reliable information back then. Now it's all just junk information...

Honestly, the Telegram era is definitely much more refreshing. Now with information explosion, I just can't keep up.

Honestly, back when I was on Telegram, I was more clear-headed. Now, with info bombs hitting my brain, it hurts.

ngl Returning to Telegram was indeed much more comfortable, but now this pile of data feeds is really noise overload... Info overload is a double-edged sword, transparency is good but half the signals are lost. Simple vs comprehensive, are we still debating this in Web3? Just compromise when needed. Drowning in channels, what the hell, why not just go back to p2p chatting? What we lose is that refreshing feeling, and what we gain is... more anxiety?

NGL, I miss the purity of those days. Now with information explosion, it's hard to find anything useful. --- Really, the Telegram era was simple and straightforward. Now with all these fragmented pieces, it's even easier to get cut like a chive. --- The more information there is, the less transparent it becomes. This question made me laugh. --- Instead of seeking comprehensiveness, it's better to return to small circles you can trust. --- So is the Web3 community now repeatedly struggling with this? It should have been decided long ago. --- Feeling lost in translation—it's not too much, nor too little. --- Accessibility? I only see more noise and scammers. --- Honestly, whether it's direct or overload doesn't matter. The key is whether the info is genuine. --- I miss the days without Discord and Twitter, really. --- It's becoming more complex and harder to distinguish. That’s probably the core issue.
