so, uh. the messenger service telegram dropped some pretty explicit nazi dog whistles in an official update announcement today???

EDIT: the 1488 reference was chanaged overnight, but the animation containing it is still accessible https://telegram.org/file/400780400829/2/9G2hKqsNaqg.2021642.mp4/16e2e9bf552b9fd439

One of them has since been removed or edited but yeah what the actual fucking fuck

oh come ON

Discord is chasing profitability into the ground, Telegram's the only other one really
