State of trust? That's currently good, right? Or have i missed some news?

Anyway, i technically enjoy telegram and it's sleek and very irc-like. But it suits better for smaller groups. Soon those groups often blow up and get too confusing and big to moderate. Binance telegram is a good example of confusing and too hectic telegram group. They are too hard to follow or moderate.

I personally haven't found a better free place for community to talk then Discord. You can compartmentalize conversations and organize information easily. It's already widely adopted so you don't need people to install yet another program to chat with each other. Important links, news and everything else stays neatly organized and i don't know if any free program even does such a good job at creating communities.
