I'm far from being Telegram fan considering their custom crypto, lack of E2E by default, etc. Yet NEXTa channel here actually have 2 million of subscribers while Belarus population is less than 10 millions. Yeah of course there some % of people from abroad who follow the situation, but it's still a lot.

Also Telegram was more-or-less resistant to at least not leak any personal information of their users in ex-USSR. So it's works well enough for protesters threat model.
