> with a doomer manifest

Can you point at anything in his message that's not factually correct?

One factual thing that looks off is "the UK is imprisoning thousands for their tweets". I'm not in the UK and not following closely the situation there, but "thousands", really? Genuine doubt, would love to see some evidence.

Otherwise, the "doomer manifest" is OK, but the comically inflated ego of Durov is annoying, him thinking that such banal and commonplace sentiments are worth pushing as an alert message to all users, wrapping everything into announcing his birthday (that he doesn't want to celebrate, oh no).

It's not about the content IMO; it's about the principle. Should not be sending content to users, unless they opted into said content being sent to them.

He also got involved in Romanian and Moldovan elections, by sending a message to target users in the day of the elections( when doing campaign is illegal) with claims he presented no evidence for, basically the bastard works for Ruzzia, he might be forced to but the facts do not lie.
