Once you get it, it's really quite simple

One, Two, Thee views of the same message.

Get it?

Most people do not yet understand this, which is a bit of a roadblock. This unique implementation for "comments" offers some interesting possibilities. That is the discussion I would like to have here.

THIS quote is worth thinking about ...

"By removing the manipulative algorithms that have become synonymous with 2010s technology platforms, Telegram channels restore transparency and integrity to public “one-to-many” communication."

If had to reduce down to one idea why I think that Telegram channels are a corporate or brand communication channel that is really worth considering, it would be because the user decides whether they want notifications for updates made to a channel.

Remember the first flush of social media back in the day, when a reasonable number of people would see updates from your Facebook page?

With a Telegram channel ALL followers who want notifications from a Telegram channel get notifications. That is a decent value proposition.

Social Media Potential

Telegram channels strike me as the most flexible, feature rich social media opportunity currently available.

First up I'm interested in whether you agree or dissagree?

Having spent a fair amount of time thinking of fun and interesting ways a channels could be used, the only thing I remain confused about is how and why the normal social media crowd seem to have totally missed Telegram as an opportunity. 🤔

Let's talk about replies on Telegram

Why?
Well, there are a number of reasons but mostly because people seem to think that a message is a reply when it comes after a previous message. This is not the case.

Sometimes you may not need to think about your response as a reply.
For example, this channel post; if you respond with a comment your comment is a reply automatically. It's a reply in the connected group. It just looks like youve responded with a comment.

If you respond to a previous comment, by leaving a following comment chronologically, that comment is not technically a reply to the previous comment is is another reply to the channel post (in the connected group).

When communicating in large groups, unless your message is totally new you should always respond with a relpy. If you don't then the context of your message can be lost to others. That might not be obvious to you as you are seeing messages displayed chronologically, but any public message can be viewed in an isolated fashion, or as part of a "discussion" thread: but only where people have actually used reply.

Of the people I communicate with on Telegram many of them claim to understand how replies work, but none of them actually implement replies. Either they do not understand, or they have not paid enough attention.

Do you use reply?

I recorded this video for the members of the English Cologne Telegram GROUP I manage, but I'm sharing it here because it's more of a social media discussion around how Telegram channel comments work with a connected group and how the discussion widget can be used with channel posts to surface group threads as webpage comments.

The video is a bit rambling and is unedited, but may help if you're not fully up to speed with Telegram channels and groups.

If you have any questions just ask 🤓
