What benefit do you think a chatroom would serve? My hesitation is fragmenting communication, plus another thing for us to manageā¦

But thatās here!

How many Telegram groups are you in? Iām not in any. Iām starting to get a little fed up with the fragmentation of the communication networks that are possible.

Iām willing to give up the @Zevvle username on Telegram. 
Initially it was intended to be a channel to post stuff from Twitter, like;
You could set up a bot that does automatic cross-posting. I prefer Telegram for most stuff. 
Not sure about a chat for Zevvle tho ācause itās relatively small atm.

I didnāt know that was even a thing!
Will 100% do that; thank you for keeping our name safe 
Iāve wanted to do a bit more with our āchangelogā anyway, so Iāll do that after the next update.

I demand one free share in Zevvle!
Just kidding, you could DMCA me anyway! https://telegram.org/faq#q-a-bot-or-channel-is-infringing-on-my-copyright-what-do-i-do
BTW, for those who are interested, we do have a chat group for FinTech (or anything tech related, it doesnāt have to be Monzo related). Could use more discussions in various topics.
or, a Revolut specific group;

Out of interest (and this applies to anyone), what do you want to see most from us or any brand on a channel like that? Twitter, tooā¦

As someone thatās already here I like what we get from the forum and blog. But I guess other platforms would be more for luring in potential customers so idk.

I donāt expect much but it would really impress me if any (tech) company with internet presence is on Telegram. More and more people/government officials are using Telegram these days. I hope they cater everyone.
I donāt expect much, whether itās on Twitter or Telegram, just a link to the latest post on Zevvle blog would suffice.
My favourite verified channels being Financial Times (free-to-read) and Bloomberg. They post regularly 'cause they are mass media company after all.

This sounds like what an RSS reader is for 
Donāt need some third party service for that.

I do use a bot to pull RSS feed for (my) Monzo and Starling channels. Itās just nice to be able to access everything in one place. 
Used to be able to use Telegram as a Twitter client. It was good ācause I was able to read (and archive) tweets and didnāt have to access Twitter.
Fair enough ^^ Centralising things is nice.
Ideally blog updates and bits of information like that. Twitter is for the interacting with other people sort of thing, but Telegram channels are for useful information, like https://t.me/BotNews

Just to add, that Telegram Chats are generally a bad idea. Theyāre great for small gatherings, groups or clubs, but when you have a group chat with 100,000+ people in it, things go downhill fast. A channel would be fine though (and if people want a chat, usually an unofficial one will spring up eventually).

I think that group is owned by @kai
They may be username squatting until @nick decides he wants to use it - as per this thread.

Its owned by me. I set it up ages ago, then came across this thread, and then completely forgot about it! As @nick also said, fragmenting a fairly small community is never a great idea.
To be fair, 100,000+ is stretching it and is fairly uncommon for focus groups on Telegram, except for the bitcoin trading ones. I successfully run a niche group with just under 1,000 members without much hitch: when everyone is vaguely on the same topic its fairly self-moderating.
Iād quite happily moderate another group but alas it seems to be an unpopular opinion.
