Between a moderate and a radical … You have to fight with all those who, like you, have chosen life … Because today it is them. “…our ennemies don't make the difference between a siegeposter and a nationalist. While posting links to backups of recently deleted far-right channels, one user implored in part:
Some far-right extremists have even sought support from their relatively “moderate” counterparts, capitalizing on the crisis to amass more support. ACT SOON AND PREPARE FOR ALL OF US TO BE REMOVED AS TERRORWAVE HAS … WE WILL ATTEMPT TO RETURN BUT THINGS WON'T BE THE SAME.”Īdmins for these groups and channels have already begun creating new backups.

Within these messages was an implicit admission of how reliant they were on Telegram. This warning goes to everyone out there who has channels, please forward these messages, create backups, and we’ll have to see what happens.” “We will be experiencing a potential purge of Telegram content coming up. That said, some of the community’s distress signals sounded a lot like their post-Christchurch prepping amid increasing removals on platforms like Discord: The place that had been such a reliable safe haven for the far right was becoming unignorably hostile.

“As you all know by now, Terrorwave Refined/Revived have been taken down by Telegram … I've come here today to offer BTC or any other preferred crypto to anyone who can return my full channel to me … Inquire in English, French, or Russian.”
Breaking precedent, the administrator of Terrorwave Refined began begging others for help, going as far as offering Bitcoin payments to anyone who could find a way to bring the channel and its followers back intact: With the panic came signals of desperation.
