Russian telecommunications regulator Roskomnadzor has received and complied to a court order to blacklist Telegram in the country. It did so by blocking millions of addresses, impacting plenty of unrelated services, including Nintendo Network. All three platforms using it (Wii U, Nintendo 3DS, and Nintendo Switch) are now unable to access online play, and are getting error messages when attempting to. Impact varies by internet provider, since they all have blocked different addresses. According to players, Splatoon 2 is the most affected game as a result of this ban.

Nintendo has acknowledged the problem on Russian social media site VK, but has no information to share as of now. Hopefully, Russian players will be able to play online again soon.

Live long enough and you will learn to ignore fad chat protocols and dismiss them accordingly. Like I think I am right now witnessing the start of Discord's demise as their dev/mod team seems to have caught a nasty case of the poor bans so give it a year or so...

Maybe one day we will have a proper open source (preferably client and protocol but protocol is enough), user made server option again. That said I am not sure quite how the world regressed to the current awful state it is in.

I was more or less thinking of these types of telegrams. Not internet protocols. Nonetheless your input is appreciated

You got to be under 25 to not know what a telegram is!!!!

I'm 34, and never needed anything else than Facebook messenger. Against popular opinion, I hate trying to use discord. Snapchat, Instagram, etc is all redundant to Facebook/messenger.

Except that Facebook messenger has now started automatically monitoring and filtering/censoring "private" conversations depending on what their computers think you are talking about and the list of things to look for and block is increasing all the time.

Well then, I hope it gets fixed, because no nintendo network = no true life.

Same as what apple did with iMessage and att did with texting 7 years ago. Eventually like imassage and att ,they will mess up, stop an important text from going through, someone will die and they will be forced to reverse the censorship.
