I have put myself back on the Telegram platform after a couple years of leaving that medium in a fallow field.
There is a group option here on the TimeWoven website, a space where I post updates, link FB and Youtube videos, do a little conversation on occasion (RELAY group). I shall continue to utilise the Wix website group tools for that purpose.
Additional to this I have created a Channel on Telegram for broadcasting SpheresData, with an associated group for comments. All of this is in the public arena. (As of 27 April 2022, this is my main outlet for broadcasting audio and video).
I keep trying different platforms because I am aware of variances in preference which people hold for their online interactions and data gathering. Many feel safer in places like FB or Telegram than they do on this Website. It may have a lot to do with a sense of anonymity and a belief in being less able to be tracked or monitored through the interwebs. These large messaging platforms are also quite user friendly and mostly stable, with greater options for posting, comments and reactions than offered by WIX.
Do I anticipate large conversations to unfold? Not at this time. I have been trying different methods since 2015 to create a space of ongoing conversation. There is some here and on FB, or private messages and it is great to see. I acknowledge that folk who absorb my SpheresData broadcasts are not really talkative about it. What is there to say? If the Telegram Group does not really end up serving a purpose, I will close it off.
My thought has been to try a Zoom meeting and the Telegram group is a place to arrange that but again, it may go nowhere and I will default back to just using the Relay group on this website.
Another messaging platform I have looked at is Signal. It is peer-to-peer, recommended to be very secure and I have used it for personal comms. But I am not led to use it for forming a dialogue or group within for SpheresData.
So there you have it! Another space opened up in the consciousness soup if you would like to check it out.
