Charles, Telegram is an other messaging app. So if you don’t like downloading another messaging app and it sounds like the mailing group is staying put then by all means, there is no need to join the group. The Telegram group was created sometime last year, and mentioned as that time, for those who like a more real time chat that is more mobile friendly than IRC. A lot of open source communities use Telegram as their main community chatting platform. It’s just another tool we can utilize for those who want to.

Right now it has 25 members, not exactly a ringing endorsement. I hit "JOIN GROUP" and got a URL that Mozilla rightly did not recognize. I am skeptical of anything web based. They are usually a pain in the butt to use. I have dropped out of several open source projects because they dropped email and went to slack or the like. Nor do I want another damned app on my phone to spew personal information all over the net. Telephones are pretty close to useless for any serious text work; that is why the gods invented computers. Email has the virtues that it shows up on my computer, not someone else's computer, and I have my computer trained to notify me when it comes in. -- Does anybody read signatures any more? https://charlescurley.com https://charlescurley.com/blog/ /* PLUG: http://plug.org, #utah on irc.freenode.net Unsubscribe: http://plug.org/mailman/options/plug Don't fear the penguin. */ /* PLUG: http://plug.org, #utah on irc.freenode.net Unsubscribe: http://plug.org/mailman/options/plug Don't fear the penguin. */
