**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Mon Nov 02 02:59:57 2020 Nov 02 08:01:52 Regarding the link between telegram and matrix/irc, maybe it should be mentioned that we have quite a bit of spamming going on on the telegram channel, so with a relay you'll get to "enjoy" that as well ;) Nov 02 08:10:44 well... is it marked as "public" telegram group? Nov 02 08:10:55 that is almost universally the reason it happends Nov 02 08:12:06 public vs private in telegram context does not mean what is implies... only thing it actually means is that does the group find and be accessible by searching inside telegram... which is exactly what any spambots like Nov 02 08:12:55 "private" tehre means that one can "only" access the group with invite-link... which is 99.99% where all peoples come fro manyway.. link fro mwebsite or so on... or obviously direct invite fro mfriend to group, but yeah Nov 02 08:23:12 This data would ofcourse be best suited to say at the telegram side =) Nov 02 08:23:44 we can always shut down the bridge if it causes too much trouble Nov 02 08:23:59 https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/astro-slide-5g-transformer#/updates/all - latest update for Astro Slide (no idea how to link to just an individual update) Nov 02 08:23:59 tldr: things are progressing Nov 02 08:55:08 the poll was not a huge success. Only 10% voted. But it is Yes rather then no. I think we will bridge TG tomorrow Nov 02 08:58:07 Ack. When ready, invite @hacklabbridgebot to tg channel, say /id and tell us the number it gives. Me or Sami Olmari can fire up the bridge then. Nov 02 10:10:32 there's been no spamming here so why should that be tolerated now? Nov 02 10:13:50 It's not tolerated on the telegram channel. Spammers are reported and get a federal ban. However the spam will probably be relayed before it can be blocked. Nov 02 10:18:57 It's about 1 spammer joining and/or spamming per day at most. Nov 02 10:19:53 (Recently we get more spammers who don't ever post but instead have all the spammy information in their profile.) Nov 02 10:24:23 Matrix or IRC aren't immune to spam, so no difference there. TG seems to have most active spammers due to popularity. Nov 02 10:25:28 Sideways related to bridges: should proper credentials given, kicks/bans will also work across bridges, where needed :) Nov 02 10:26:27 nothing is immune to spam, indeed... TG public groups just make it free to do (while msot folks not realising telegrams public vs. private does not mean what it usually menas in chat platforms) Nov 02 10:27:07 (repost from TG: So we should ask the spammers to provide proper credentials then. /jk ;) ) Nov 02 14:32:13 suite Nov 02 14:33:00 :) Nov 02 15:00:07 Hm, now wondering if it's possible to link my existing matrix account to telegram. Nov 02 15:00:44 * Hm, now wondering if it's possible to link my existing matrix account to my (edit: existing) telegram account. Nov 02 15:01:48 TauPan: generally yes, within similar bridge instance as intent is to bridge this channel (bridges can do both/all) Nov 02 15:04:34 some extrimists doesn't trust anyone and run their own matrix-server and bridges =D Nov 02 15:04:56 Sami Olmari: Would that apply here, or is it a different bot: https://github.com/tulir/mautrix-telegram/wiki/Authentication ? Nov 02 15:06:16 well as Hacklab Finland we offer matrix-server and assortment of bridges for finnish hacklab (hackerspaces) users, we use taht bot software, but resources can't handle world-open usage (I wish) Nov 02 15:06:35 Ah, I see. Nov 02 15:06:47 That's okay. Nov 02 15:07:52 It's cosmetic anyways. Most telegram users will probably not bother to register anyway. Or maybe AwildHisokaappears would be eager to run a dedicated bridgebot for the group members. **duck** Nov 02 15:08:07 Err, sorry for replying from two accounts ;) Nov 02 15:08:08 =) Nov 02 15:16:43 TauPan: t2bot.io has public telegram bridge, you can log into tg account from it Nov 02 20:42:36 o/ **** ENDING LOGGING AT Tue Nov 03 03:00:33 2020
