- Posting a link to a website containing tracking isn't great, if contents of the website are behind a paywall maybe copy them into the post
- Don't promote proprietary software
- Try to keep things on topic
- If you have a question, please try searching for previous discussions, maybe it has already been answered
- Reposts are fine, but should have at least a couple of weeks in between so that the post can reach a new audience

Yep, not a lot but it happens
I've had spam on mostly every messaging platform. Telegram has been easily the worst though
In the middle of a conversation with someone you know? Yikes
It's a separate thread for each user or group you have. These bots come in as a new contact and thread. So no. Never in the middle of a preexisting conversation. I got one once, 2-3 years ago now. It was immediately apparent like this one. I just reported and blocked them.
no not mid conversation
"You accepted the message request"
It's a new conversation
Congratulations ๐
Thanks
