  • public pages for echos on tg

    Those links take the person to a page that shows the lovely icon, and the desc of the echo. Good. But it still has a Join button (not a Read button) and it still requires the user to have the app. If that's the case, why not just make the group public and findable in the first place?

    If the option for joining wasn't there, it would be like advertising the Grand Opening of a shop everywhere, then when people show up having a sign saying "By appointment Only"

    This is also true, but there is one difference. An open group is periodically visited by spambots. We need 2-3 moderators in the group to them all. And still, this will not rid Fido completely of spam.

    It is enough to activate the *white* and *black* lists in the group. After that, it is quite possible to make it even open. SPAM will not leak into Fido for sure and moderators will gradually clear it out of the group.

    Good to know that there are options like that. Is that what PVT.ZONA or any of the others that you represent are using?

    While such sheets are not supported, but I'm almost ready to implement it. In the fidonet.online group, moderators completely cope with spammers and almost no spam gets to Fido.

    Have nice nights.
