It would be amazing if we could embody the values of movement strategy whenever we can. Using only Telegram group as recommendation is NOT*.
In general please consider not to endorse commercial and closed source software as primary communication channel. It is also bad in terms of usability and intensity/velocity of exchanges in conditions and context of massive cross-zone/cross-cultural event organizing. Likely to be a cute looking mess and info bottleneck. I already have multiple Wikimedia Telegram groups that hard to follow and take more personal energy then they should at these times of pandemic. Please re-consider this!
My arguments are presented on the Telegram group itself and your meta page https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Talk:Strategy/Wikimedia_movement/2018-20/Tra...
