It would be amazing if we could embody the values of movement strategy
whenever we can. Using only Telegram group as recommendation is NOT*.

In general please consider not to endorse commercial and closed source
software as primary communication channel. It is also bad in terms of
usability and intensity/velocity of exchanges in conditions and
context of massive cross-zone/cross-cultural event organizing. Likely
to be a cute looking mess and info bottleneck. I already have multiple
Wikimedia Telegram groups that hard to follow and take more personal
energy then they should at these times of pandemic. Please re-consider
this!

My arguments are presented on the Telegram group itself and your meta
page

limited use due to phone number privacy and I do also use it myself
but it should be neither only nor first option.
