A few hours ago I put out a public call on my Telegram channel for people to join "Franssen Conversation", the conversation group that is available to anyone who wants to make a comment on any Telegram post of mine. So far 85 people have joined, which is about 19% of the people who saw the post. This is awesome engagement.
This response has me feeling motivated to treat the group more like a chat group in itself, as opposed to a simply byproduct of Telegram's comment function. I have updated the profile picture to suit the environment. I appreciate anyone here in the Locals who joined up. It is, of course, not the premium chat group available only to Locals subs, but it's a good leg up for engagement AND should the member count hit 200 people, we'll be able to turn on the aggressive spam filter via the Telegram app. This will make a huge difference in dealing with those pesky MAGA spam bots that keep showing up. Cheers!
