  • 15 апр.💬 Telegram isn't a perfect platform and has a huge problem with OSINT bots and exploits being discovered every day. What are your thoughts on this? Have you ever been threatened as a result of your public role? If so, how did you react? Telegram, like any large platform, is not perfect. Managing and controlling issues such as OSINT bots and emerging exploits at scale is extremely challenging. I believe the platform still has room to improve in addressing these concerns, and I hope stronger solutions will be developed over time. Regarding personal experience, yes—I have faced situations involving threats. At times, I’ve been offered money to promote certain content or to criticize specific topics, and I’ve also received threats due to my involvement in reporting harmful activities. For example, I previously worked with a team to identify and report channels that were sharing illegal content, including material involving minors, which led to further backlash. In such situations, I choose not to engage. I ignore these threats and continue focusing on my work. I stand by what I believe is fair and right, and I do not compromise my principles under pressure. Criticism is acceptable, but threats are not.3,64%
  • 11 февр.1⃣ Many community-driven projects have been developed on Telegram, and Italians have been busy contributing to the platform over time. Some stand out, such as Group Help, OctoGram, BotsArchive, and so on. What are your favorite projects, both Italian and non-Italian? It's true, the Italian community on Telegram has been surprisingly active over time. Comparatively, there have been many notable Italian projects, sometimes even more visible than those from other countries, and that's something to think about. Among the Italian projects, a special mention definitely goes to Bruno's Channel Help, which I've used extensively and consider an example of a useful and well-thought-out project for the platform. As for international projects, I'm particularly attached to the tginfo community, started by Antonio Maretti. It's a project I care deeply about, also because I'm an active member: I helped found and manage the Chinese division. It's one of those examples where the community truly manages to create something lasting and international. 💬 Telegram isn't a perfect platform and has a huge problem with OSINT bots and exploits being discovered every day. What are your thoughts on this? Have you ever been threatened as a result of your public role? If so, how did you react? I prefer not to go into too much detail because these are also personal experiences, but yes: Telegram still has several difficulties in managing unpleasant situations such as doxxing, abuse, and exploits related to OSINT bots. Over time, I've been subjected to various types of attacks, mostly related to my visibility and activity on the platform. The main problem is that, for a "normal" user, it's very difficult to get effective support through official channels. Reports are also often handled not based on the severity of the case, but rather according to automated mechanisms that primarily take into account the volume of reports, some of which are supported by automated systems. This has led to the emergence of third-party projects that seek to fill these gaps, helping users and communities manage situations that Telegram still struggles to address directly. It must be said that the situation has improved compared to the past, but there remains a clear lack of human resources dedicated to these issues, especially considering the scale of the platform. It's a delicate and complex topic, but I believe it's one of the aspects on which Telegram should invest more in the future2,82%
  • 26 февр.6⃣ How did the other TSF members react when you decided to leave? && 7⃣ You leaked a significant amount of internal TSF data. After doing so, did you receive any direct or indirect threats from the team? Do you still maintain contact with former TSF members, or did they all turn their backs on you? I didn't leave voluntarily; I was kicked. At first, the team reacted calmly, but after the aggressive leaks, some became angry - especially Ark that joined the team the same day as me (sorry, Ark). There weren't any threats, just complaints. I no longer maintain contact with any of them. 8⃣ Can you explain in detail the issues related to the TSF working environment? I can't remember specific details anymore, and many would likely be outdated anyway. Rumor has it that a lot has changed since I was let go. 9⃣ Beyond the negative aspects of your time in the TSF, did the experience leave you with anything valuable? In other words, did you learn any important lessons from what some refer to as Telegram’s “Pentagon”? Yes, it was interesting to see the inner workings, and I definitely improved my communication skills. For the most part, the main issue at the time was the lack of communication with other Telegram teams and the high number of "inactive" TSF members; only a few were actually active. I don't know how things are going on now. 1⃣ Is there anything you still haven’t leaked because it is too personal or private? No. Most of the leaks were just random screenshots I had taken. 💬 Telegram isn't a perfect platform and has a huge problem with OSINT bots and exploits being discovered every day. What are your thoughts on this? Have you ever been threatened as a result of your public role? If so, how did you react? It is a real problem, but it's mostly a flaw of governments and services that don't prioritize user data security. I have been doxxed a couple of times, but it was completely unrelated to the TSF or my role there.2,80%
  • 15 мая7⃣ What is the hardest type of spam to fight? And what practical advice can you give to group administrators? The hardest spam to catch is the kind that isn't sent in mass blasts and involves manually written messages. Detecting AI-generated text isn't difficult, and mass mailings are easy to spot too - but when neither of those signals is present, it becomes a problem. For that scenario there is a report-and-global-ban system: a spammer manually blocked in response to a user or admin report gets banned across all chats. 8⃣ One of the features available in @LolsBot is the user “lookup,” which shows some user statistics such as the number of groups a user is in, previous usernames, and more. Don’t you think some of this information could be used by malicious actors or to support OSINT bots? Of course, any publicly available information about users can be used for both good and bad purposes. But in Lols case, the amount of publicly accessible data is very limited, and there are no plans to expand functionality in that direction. 9⃣ How useful is AI for detecting spam compared to traditional rule-based systems? Rule-based spam detection makes sense within a specific chat, but it still requires daily tuning to keep up with new spammers. Neural networks can significantly improve detection quality, but they consume more resources and demand a more deliberate approach than it might seem at first glance - especially when dealing with tens of thousands of chats with very different user behavior patterns. 1⃣Can you tell us about the future plans for @LolsBot? The main near-term plans remain: improving bot accuracy, automating tasks that currently require manual intervention, optimizing costs and architecture, and of course expanding the bot's admin feature set. Right now the focus is primarily on anti-spam functionality rather than other useful features that currently push admins to use additional bots (sometimes paid ones) in their groups. -2,68%
  • 15 апр.🎤 Thanks to @starusername for accepting the interview, Telegram expert and founder of @NewsAndTipsNT. ➖➖➖➖ 1⃣ Well Rohan, let’s start with your biggest project: News and Tips. How did it begin? Did you get help from anyone, or was it something you initially built on your own? It actually surprised me how the News and Tips channel grew to become so successful and impactful. The origin of the channel is quite interesting and a bit funny as well. I am a strong tech enthusiast, and I found the Telegram application particularly fascinating. When I started exploring it, I joined several groups to ask questions and learn more. However, many of these groups were highly restricted, and in some cases, I was even removed because my questions were considered too simple or repetitive. That experience motivated me to create a space where users could freely ask questions without feeling judged. I also wanted to build a platform without third-party advertisements, as they were very common and often intrusive at that time. Initially, I built the channel entirely on my own without any help. As it started growing, many subscribers began supporting me—some contributed by sending gifts, and others helped in building bots and managing the channel 2⃣ Today, News and Tips is a major Telegram channel with a strong community. What do you think has been the key to this success, and what have you offered that other news channels haven’t? Our key to success was providing fast and reliable updates, along with accurate predictions. In the earlier stages, consistency and timing played a major role in building trust with our audience. However, over time, I became busy with other commitments, which affected that consistency to some extent. If you look at our track record, the channel has successfully predicted several major developments in Telegram, including the current integration of AI features. I believe this forward-looking approach is something that set us apart from many other news channels. 3⃣ As of today, how much are you personally involved in the news published on the channel, and how many contributors are working behind News and Tips? As of now, I am still the primary content creator and publisher for the channel. Recently, a new admin, @, joined, and both of us are actively involved in editing and managing the content. Additionally, Nick (@godspro) supports us by providing useful bot that help with automation of beta files. We also have another admin, but he is not currently active. 4⃣ In your opinion, what has been your best post in terms of originality, timeliness, or uniqueness on News and Tips? There have been several posts that contributed to making News and Tips unique in terms of originality and timeliness. It’s difficult to single out just one, as many of them played a role in shaping the channel’s identity. However, I’ve compiled a list of some of our most notable and impactful posts, which you can check here: https://t.me/NewsAndTipsNT/1139⁠� 5⃣ Have there ever been difficult periods for your channel? Did you ever consider shutting it down? Yes, there have been difficult periods, and in fact, we are going through one right now especially for me personally. However, despite these challenges, I have never seriously considered shutting down the channel. During this time, @ has been a great support and a valuable helping hand in managing and maintaining the channel. 6⃣ Besides News and Tips, you’ve developed other projects like @InternationalInsider. Which project are you most attached to? And is there a project of yours that never saw the light of day? @InternationalInsider was a very ambitious project and still has strong growth potential. However, managing two channels at the same time has been challenging for me, so I’ve decided to focus primarily on News and Tips for now. As for other projects, there aren’t any that never saw the light of day. These two are the main projects I’ve worked on.2,45%
  • 11 февр.🎤 Thanks to @Laky64 for accepting the interview, Telegram expert and founder of PyTgCalls ➖➖➖➖ 1⃣ Let's start with one of your most important projects, PyTgCalls. Tell me a something about how the idea was born, what were the obstacles to overcome, and what or who inspired you to create this library? The PyTgCalls project was born from a concrete need and an enthusiasm shared with some friends. With the introduction of group calls on Telegram, we wanted to create something similar to Discord: the ability to play music and audio content within group calls. The main problem was that Telegram didn't provide an official API or documentation for this type of feature. Faced with this void, I decided to start from scratch and begin studying WebRTC to understand how low-level calls worked. During this phase, I discovered that another developer, vrumger (also known as twitface), was working on an initial experimental implementation. He had already laid the foundation, but there were still several stability and connection issues, so I decided to join the project to contribute in a more structured way. Meanwhile, there was another approach, based on the tgcalls module in Telegram Desktop, developed by MarshalX. However, we decided not to pursue that approach because it had architectural and performance limitations: the code wasn't designed for streaming, it used a very old version of WebRTC, and it wasn't optimized for intensive use. At that point, we began to gradually build a more robust solution, starting with an initial JavaScript core (tgcallsjs), thanks also to some clarifications provided by Evgeny Nadymov on the initial implementations in the Telegram web client. The project was subsequently completely rewritten and split into two main components: NTgCalls, the C++ core, and PyTgCalls, the Python interface. Today, the project is the result of years of study, experimentation, and collaboration, and continues to evolve thanks to the exchange of knowledge with organizations like Shiguredo, with whom we collaborate to tackle one of the most complex challenges: working with libwebrtc in C++ despite the almost total absence of official documentation. 2⃣ Besides PyTgCalls you have developed other smaller projects such as: @TestFlightTrackBot and @tgscheme... which is your favorite and why? That's a difficult question, because I don't really have a "favorite" project, strictly speaking. Each of these works represents a different challenge and is, in some way, a little creature to which I'm attached. Furthermore, many of these projects wouldn't have reached the level of care and maturity they have today without the support and dialogue of the people around me. That said, if I had to choose the project I'm most proud of, I'd probably say gobotapi. It's a less visible and almost "ghost" project, used by few people, but it represents a fundamental foundation. Without it, projects like tgscheme and TestFlightTrackBot probably wouldn't exist, because they're built right on top of that library. It's one of those behind-the-scenes efforts that holds everything else together. If I had to pick the project that gave me the most trouble, I'd say TgScheme. It was the most complex and challenging from a technical standpoint, but also the one that taught me the most, especially in terms of reverse engineering and analyzing undocumented systems.2,32%
  • 15 апр.7⃣ Recently, there was a lot of buzz around the news that Nekogram was allegedly collecting users’ phone numbers (and possibly other data). Did you use Nekogram? And do you think this is a risk users should be aware of when using third-party clients, or is it unacceptable and surprising that Nekogram had a “dark side”? I generally do not recommend using unofficial clients. I have tested several of them for evaluation purposes, and while some can be useful for specific features, they often bypass certain Telegram security measures. If users choose to use third-party clients, they should be fully aware of the risks involved. There are many such applications available, and like any technology, they can have a “dark side.” It’s important to use them responsibly, stay informed, and be prepared for potential worst-case scenarios. I would also like to highlight a recent Telegram update that introduces a security alert on the profiles of users who use third-party apps. This alert informs others that messages sent to them may be less secure, helping users better understand the risks associated with unofficial clients. 8⃣ What do you think is Telegram’s biggest issue today? Previously, one of Telegram’s biggest issues was stability, but it has improved significantly over time. I’ve personally reported several bugs to the developers, and many of them were fixed quickly, which shows strong responsiveness from the team. That said, Telegram still lacks certain features that are available in other messaging apps. Earlier, major concerns included connectivity issues—especially instability in voice and video calls—as well as delayed notifications in chats. Another growing concern is the increasing number of government restrictions and bans in certain regions, which can affect accessibility and user trust. However, one of the biggest challenges today is user perception. Many people still don’t fully recognize Telegram as a powerful primary messaging platform and continue to rely on other apps instead. 9⃣ Beyond your own projects within the Telegram community, which channels, bots, or mini apps do you appreciate the most and think have done a great job? There are many great channels in the Telegram ecosystem, although unfortunately, several of the ones I appreciated the most are no longer active. I do miss many of those communities, as they played an important role in shaping the platform. At the same time, there are newer channels that are doing an excellent job today and continuing to grow the ecosystem. When it comes to bots, I’ve seen many useful ones in the past, but it’s disappointing that several of them are no longer maintained or have stopped working. As for mini apps, I believe they have huge potential and are one of Telegram’s most promising features. However, I haven’t come across many truly impressive mini apps yet, which feels like a missed opportunity at this stage. 1⃣ If you had to give advice to someone who wants to start a news or leak channel, what would it be? Go for it—don’t hesitate. This doesn’t apply just to channels, but to anything you’re passionate about. If you have an idea and the drive to pursue it, take the initiative and start. Focus on building something meaningful rather than chasing money. Do it for the passion and the value you can provide. Most importantly, stay consistent—long-term dedication is what truly makes the difference.2,18%
  • 30 мар.1⃣ Nowadays @iDubTG is not very active. In a previous response you mentioned that you stepped away from the project to focus more on your private life. Have you lost some of the passion and curiosity you used to have for Telegram? And would you ever consider coming back to posting in the future? This is a great question that I felt like I didn't address properly on my channel, so I'm going to address it here. As you may notice from some of my answers, I'm basically like a literal grandpa when it comes to Telegram now. I still keep in contact with some of my friends in the community on this app, even them showing me new features, but I'm still so out of touch now. I haven't been looking at the community as a whole for nearly 2 years; I'm entirely out of my depth in everything Telegram now. I genuinely couldn't tell you anything new. I can see how much the app has improved; I always get whiplash every time I open Telegram Beta Chat, seeing how much has changed and how the chat I once spoke in every day has adapted to it's new features. I wouldn't really call myself an "OG" at all though; even though I was here since 2020-2021, some have been here even longer. Why did I disappear? I don't exactly know. Maybe I got bored, but I simply just gradually stopped interacting with the community as much, each day interacting less until I basically didn't anymore. Maybe it's that, and a combination of my final exams at the place I was studying and a big switch in my life, but I'm still not entirely sure. I guess I just lost the great passion and interest I had in this app, and through no fault of Telegram did this happen. I was extremely curious to find new features and bugs in this app, but I simply just don't feel like that anymore, most likely because I'm an adult now, and I've "grown out of it" or "grown up". It's kind of sad, in a way. I still get nostalgia from the old times in Telegram, the times I had in the community, the friends I had here, and also the projects and just overall cool creative ideas that came out of my young imaginative mind. It's time from a bygone era of my life, though. Do I see myself coming back? Most likely not, but you never know. It's not like I'm entirely against me coming back, but the only way I'd return is if my passion and curiosity for this app comes back, for whatever reason. Maybe some insane future event will happen that brings me back here; I literally cant say. I genuinely have no earthly idea.2,04%
  • 2 февр.🎤 Thanks to @Bruninoit for accepting the interview, Telegram veteran and founder of @GroupHelpBot. ➖➖➖➖ 1⃣ Let's start with the debut of Group Help on Telegram. You created Group Help out of necessity or passion. Was there a particular event that convinced you to do so? Group Help was born in April 2016, just a few days after Telegram released the update that allowed bots to ban users from groups. Previously, this wasn't possible, so there were only group management userbots. I had already started developing bots a few weeks earlier and was also frequenting various Telegram groups, so I realized it would make sense to create a group management bot that could replace the userbots used at the time. So I started testing it in the groups I frequented, and then it spread on its own, group after group. 2⃣ You are now a Telegram veteran, many users back in 2016 weren't on Telegram yet, what was the moderation bot situation like back then? The situation was very critical: there were no protection tools on either the bot or Telegram side, so even a storm/flood attack was very effective at seriously damaging groups. There were indeed some protective userbots, but they were not widespread. Even after the birth of Group Help, it was still difficult to contain these types of attacks effectively and automatically, since bots still couldn't delete messages. One of the most secure countermeasures was blacklisting malicious users/userbots to ban them before they could do any damage. In collaboration with IATA (a very popular group network at the time), I implemented a well-designed blacklist that was successful and helped spread Group Help. 3⃣ Are you currently feeling competition from bots like Rose, GladOs, and Combot? Do you know their respective developers, or are you more reserved? I often talk with the owner of Rose and occasionally with the owner of Combot: ours is a common front "against" Telegram, there's no war between us. I don't know anyone from GladOS, but Russians tend to be more closed-minded in their language network. In the past, I think I felt more competition, but today I'm just concerned about offering a good product and I don't worry about whether others are more or less successful than me. Of course, we all observe each other, as is normal; competition pushes us to improve and helps us come up with new ideas. Those who have taken an aggressive approach often haven't achieved great results; a recent case was that of T22 (Mee6). 4⃣ If I asked you to make a top 5 of the bots you are most proud of having created/participated in the development of, what would it be? It's hard to classify them; I'm very proud of all three of my main bots for different reasons. Group Help was obviously my first major project, Chelp has given me a lot of satisfaction since I took it over four years ago, and Modular is my latest gem and the one I use most on a daily basis. I've created other smaller bots, both public and private, but nothing as noteworthy as the three main ones.1,86%
  • 2 февр.1⃣ 2025 was Telegram's year of revenue, with exponential growth in the value of anonymous numbers and the incredible popularity of NFT gifts. Do you agree with this method of earning money, and what do you think of the constant scams that unfortunately appear every day on Telegram regarding these NFTs? It's right and inevitable that Telegram monetizes its users, and I'm happy they're doing so to ensure a sustainable future. What saddens me most is that over the past two years, largely due to their small development team, they've focused almost exclusively on monetization and have somewhat suffered as WhatsApp and other platforms "catch up," risking going from a leader to a follower of innovation. Scams have always been a problem on Telegram, with or without NFTs, and there's never been enough effort to address this issue. 💬 Telegram isn't a perfect platform and has a huge problem with osint bots and exploits being discovered every day. What are your thoughts on this? Have you ever been threatened as a result of your public role? Telegram has always had this duality: on the one hand, they're very focused on offering mechanisms that allow for greater privacy, but on the other, there are many security issues (again due to the small development team) and too much openness on the social media and API levels, which exposes it to problems like OSINT bots, etc. But this is probably also the least of the problems: there’s a whole business around scams and stolen account that’s at an all-time high, on top of all the illegal material that's always been circulating on Telegram and the moderation that has never even remotely kept pace.1,77%
  • 30 мар.🎤 Thanks to @iDubno for accepting the interview, Telegram old-school insider and creator of @iDubTG. ➖➖➖➖ 1⃣ First of all, tell me how your main channel @iDubTG was born. What was your original goal? Did anyone encourage or push you to create it? At the time, I felt like most Telegram news channels were reporting on the same pieces of information, and that there was nothing really "exclusive" that set any other channel apart. Furthermore, speed and grammar was a major issue I saw in channels back then. My original goal when it was first created was to have Telegram news, but focused on speed. As time went on, "exclusive" news became a large part of it, posting information that no other channel had, as at my young age back then, I saw this as a brilliant idea. No one really pushed me to create It, it was just a spur of the moment idea. 2⃣ What do you think set your news/leak channel apart from others covering Telegram? As the channel progressed, many people, and also a "secret" society on Telegram that I will for all intents and purposes in this interview call the "Telegram FBI", most likely started to notice that my channel began posting very vague posts, some with images, and some with random bold texts or meanings. These were called "hints", which would hint at new / upcoming features on Telegram much before other news channels did, and back then, my young optimist self thought I was a genius that just invented an infallible news system. I couldn't have been more wrong. These "hint" posts, got more ambitious as time went on. Some of the news I was considering posting at the time was very risky, but certainly not as risky as some other channels were going about it. The majority of leak channels back then would fail spectacularly, as they couldn't help being noisy about what they discovered, and also sharing what they discovered in harmful ways. Back then, certain channels would post entire full videos from private clients detailing leaked features in their entirety. Most channels that did this either stopped, or caused the clients they were using to be revoked, and the restrictions made tighter, as many people fled to using these clients, but the clients were made for bug testing, not to gawk at unreleased features. I thought that by not directly showing the features, I could get away with not being interrogated by the "Telegram FBI". I was very wrong. It was a very wild time for me back then, I started making posts without considering the risk it caused, which got me into a lot of trouble. I got heavily questioned into how on earth I was predicting and hinting at features on my channel like some goddamn sooth sayer, and where exactly I was obtaining this information from. iDubTG started to get subscribers from certain people, and also some from the "Telegram FBI", so it was clear they knew I had more than I was letting on at the time. But don't worry, Telegram FBI! If you're reading this interview, I haven't been involved in the community for over 2 years. I literally know nothing. I couldn't even tell you the latest features of Telegram. 3⃣ Which post are you the most proud of, and which one gave you the most satisfaction after publishing it? This is an easy question to answer. The post I made regarding the stories feature link was hands down the best one, as no channel had reported or caught any sign of the stories feature. It got spread everywhere and basically boosted my channel completely, giving me motivation to post more. 4⃣ Have you ever worked on any side projects that you never officially released? Technically, yes. I was going to post a ARG analogue style horror on my channel wherein I gradually revealed the existence of the stories feature, but I never completed it. Additionally, there was some expansion ideas I had for the iDubTG Podcast that never happened, such as inviting more guests and doing interviews.1,10%
  • 11 февр.6⃣ Given your contributions to Telegram, have you ever received recognition from other important key figures or directly from the Telegram team? The concept of "recognition" is relative. I've interacted with prominent developers and Telegram insiders, and I've received positive feedback from people I consider important in the industry. However, I've never received direct public recognition from Telegram. I've actively contributed to several PR , some of which were actually merged after private discussions with the developers. In general, however, Telegram isn't a platform that gives formal recognition, not even to figures like Evgeny Nadymov, the creator of Telegram's first web implementations. Personally, I don't give it too much weight, you work and contribute because it's useful to the project, without expecting official recognition. 7⃣ Let's get a little more personal now. Besides this account, have you had any others in the past? If so, what happened to them? Yes, I had another account in the past, but unfortunately I lost it due to my own mistake. I forgot to update my phone number and took an action that resulted in a temporary soft ban. After that, I was unable to log in again because I no longer had access to the associated number. Fortunately, Telegram now offers solutions like passkey access, which makes it much easier to avoid similar problems. 8⃣ Besides being a Telegram user, do you work in tech outside of social media, or is your nature completely different? I'd say I'm a multicultural and multifaceted person. I've worked in various fields: UX design, Android development, marketing design, and I have experience as a freelance software engineer. I also occasionally open illustration commissions on my Twitter page, but it's not a regular activity. I'd say I'm not strictly technical by nature; I'm also very interested in the humanities, so I always try to combine creative and technological skills in my projects. 9⃣ Is there anything you absolutely can't stand about Telegram? Both on the technical and front-end fronts, let's say, whether it's the much-discussed gifts since their release, the lack of customization for bots, or the graphical direction Tandorid is taking, which is heavily oriented toward iOS... Yes, there are some things I struggle to appreciate about Telegram today, both technically and organizationally. Over the years, the platform's philosophy has changed, or at least the perception many developers had of it. From an administrative standpoint, joining the development team is quite complex: very specific skills are required, including knowledge of the Russian language, as Pavel Durov prefers to communicate directly with the team in a natural way. This choice is consistent with his vision, but it makes entry difficult for many international developers. Visually, Telegram Android isn't necessarily ugly, but the direction it's taken is heavily inspired by iOS. Personally, I would have preferred a style closer to Material 3 Expressive, but it should be noted that this isn't a news: Telegram has always followed the iOS aesthetic on Android. Durov has repeatedly demonstrated his appreciation for iOS design, even though he doesn't share its ecosystem, so in this respect he's been consistent over time. From a technical and backend perspective, one of the most frustrating aspects is the strong tendency to maintain legacy components. A concrete example is group calls, which use a very old version of WebRTC, causing instability and frequent crashes. I had previously reported this issue, and the Google team also confirmed that the cause was related to custom thread management implementations, which were later superseded by the adoption of more modern standards like C++17. In summary, Telegram remains a powerful platform, but some technical and organizational choices make it more difficult for developers to contribute effectively.0,69%
