One of the most obvious reasons is that everything via the bot can't be controlled and as an irc user your data is leaked to telegram. Greetings, Jelle signature.asc Description: PGP signature

Well why not connect the channel with the group on Telegram by using a bot? It will be nice.

Re: [arch-general] Whatsapp group
I recommend Revolution IRC which is open-sourced and the UI follows the Material Design guideline. You can simply install it from Google Play, I don't know if it's on F-Droid also.

Re: [arch-general] Whatsapp group
You have a link to the wiki page. If you can't connect to an IRC channel on Android (or search on the web how to do it) you may *not* want to use Arch IMHO Send from Contrepoison De : Ram Kumar via arch-general Envoyé : mercredi 14 août à 08:52 Objet : Re: [arch-general] Whatsapp group À : General Discussion about Arch Linux Cc : Ram Kumar > That's what the IRC channels are for: > > > https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Arch_IRC_channels Is it possible to use > android devices to access irc?

Re: [arch-general] Whatsapp group
Agree with that. I think the Telegram group is better.

In fact, I am personally somewhat skeptical of Telegram in the same way I am skeptical about WhatsApp. (It may not be run by an unscrupulous social media company, but it is still a closed-source server model). What would making it "official" mean? Users are free to reach out to other users however they would like to personally agree to reach out. The forums and mailing lists we host on our own website are a special case, and the IRC and reddit communities exist because many users wanted them to. -- Eli Schwartz Bug Wrangler and Trusted User signature.asc Description: OpenPGP digital signature
