    Hi Paul!

    The Telegram gate/portal/link is up.

    Now you need a shout-out to other systems to carry it or find out who has it but not realize it?. It needs some advertising! ;)

    please, no. and why?

    what about asking first?

    why not create gateways to facebook, instagram, wechat, tinder, twitter, diaspora, mastodon, whatsapp, xmpp, signal, matrix, irc, usenet, email for every single fidonet echo?

    By the way, why not?

    As far as I know, the permission of the moderator was obtained before this echo conference was connected to Telegram.

    Strictly speaking, this is not exactly a gate in Telegram. It looks more like a BBS with access via Telegram.

    Hi Oli!

    I meant shout-out /advertising about the echo itself.


    what about asking first?

    That was done.

    tinder, twitter, diaspora, mastodon, whatsapp, xmpp,
    signal, matrix, irc, usenet, email.. for every single fidonet
    echo?

    As Brother described, it's very much just a way to access his bbs
    system with a smartphone/tablet or the desktop with some of the
    advantages of Telegram itself: portability from device to device,
    for one thing.

    Every single fidonet echo would not make sense. The Telegram
    solution is best for the basic chatty types of echos. Echos with
    charts, fixed-with tables, wouldn't look good.
