Catholicism is fading? The Pope has no sway in America? What are you smoking? Orthodoxy has sway in Alaska and various ethnic enclaves of Greeks and Russians and has very little impact in American culture. Catholicism ESPECIALLY traditional Catholicism is growing. It is culturally impactfull, frequently appearing (both with respectful and distasteful depictions) in movies, TV, and internet meme culture. Orthodoxy? Not as much. I say this with Orthodox friends that you are dead wrong and look jealous and silly that your Patriarchs aren't given a sliver of the same interest.
But this proves what I have always said. Many Americans that become EO are such because they realize Protestantism is dead and shallow, they want sacraments and beauty but cannot bring themselves to shed their protestant brainwashing about the Pope and want to do their own thing.
I say this with philia and charity, you as well are excused from this conversation and as a neophyte to Orthodoxy should refrain from speaking on these matters until you've matured in your faith.

The cloud-based messaging platform is also adding Anonymous Group Admins feature. As per Telegram, this feature is being introduced for safer protests. As per the Telegram blog post, users can “Toggle Remain Anonymous in Admin rights to enable Batman mode. The anonymized admin will be hidden in the list of group members, and their messages in the chat will be signed with the group name, similar to channel posts.”
Telegram auto-delete message, expiring invites, and more
elegram is updating its messaging app with options for auto-deleting messages, expiring invite links, and new unlimited groups, the company shared in a blog post. Much like Signal, Telegram received a burst of new users in the confusion over WhatsApp’s privacy policy and now the company is adopting features that were already part of its competitors’ apps, features which offer more security and privacy. Auto-deleting messages were already possible in Telegram’s encrypted Secret Chats, but this new update for iOS and Android adds the option to make messages disappear in any kind of chat. Auto-delete can be enabled inside of chats, and set to delete either 24 hours or seven days after messages are sent. Auto-delete won’t remove every message though; if a message was sent before the feature was turned on, it’ll stick around. Telegram’s competitors have had similar features: WhatsApp introduced a feature in 2020 and Signal has had disappearing messages since at least 2016.
