16 posts held, back to 7 April 2024 — the reader has not yet reached the start of this channel’s public history, so older posts may sit further back, unread. Read across 1 pageof Telegram’s post history, 20 posts per page.
Nothing published in the last 30 days. ERR and ER are rolling 30-day measures, so there is nothing to compute — we hold 16 posts for this entry, the most recent from 12 November 2025. An engagement rate over an empty window would be a number about nothing.
444 reactions across 13 posts, in 12 distinct kinds. The most used accounts for 61.5% of them.

No sentiment is inferred, and none should be read in. This table is ordered by count and by nothing else. Emoji do not carry stable meaning across languages or communities — 🙏 is thanks in one channel and mourning in another — so we publish which ones were pressed and how often, and pass no judgement on what an audience meant by them.
Precision. Telegram publishes reaction counts per emoji and short-forms each one — 4.34K, 1.2M — so any single kind at or above 1,000 reaches us at three significant figures, and only counts below 1,000 are exact. The shares above are ratios of those figures and carry the same error. This is also why the total here can differ slightly from a reaction total printed elsewhere on the page: both are sums of the same rounded parts, taken over samples with different edges.
Coverage. Reactions were read on 13 of the 16 sampled posts in this sample. Summed by Telegram’s own count on each post — not by adding up the per-emoji breakdown above — those same posts carry 444reactions in total: the kind of figure the paragraph above means by “a reaction total printed elsewhere on the page”.
Measured over the 16 most recent posts we hold, published 7 April 2024 to 12 November 2025, using the newest reading held for each. Telegram Stars are excluded: they are a payment, not a reaction, and they have their own section.

Hey guys! A little bit of an update about things... Our fundraiser for the families of political prisoners has so far handed out £13,000 to families in need. We still have £7000 to hand out, so if anybody has got any suggestions for families who need help, please feel free to send them over. As we promised from the start, we've given full transparency over where every single penny has gone and we haven't taken an ad…

Message from James Costello: “A massive thank you to all those who sent me festive cards over the Yuletide period and also for the lovely birthday cards. I appreciate all the kind and supportive words and they will always be remembered. An inmate at Strangeways bought a card which 14 others in the prison signed. The all sang Happy Birthday to me. Can you imagine how special that was? So many friends have made it a …

Morning all. We have had some bad news regarding James Costello. He has asked us to make this public because he wants people to know what he’s facing. James has received a result from his application to be downgraded to a category C prisoner (from a category B prisoner). The result is, according to the letter given to James, that he will NOT be moved down to category C. The letter explains various ways that James is…

I’ve had a few people ask me how they can send a Christmas card to Sam. Sam will be out of prison before Christmas, however somebody who would really appreciate a Christmas card is James Costello, who is currently serving 5 years in HMP Manchester for speech crimes. Not only this, but he has been isolated and cut off from speaking to many of his friends. Please consider sending him a Christmas card here: James Cost…

James Costello who is currently behind bars in HMP Manchester for speech crime has written a poem he would like us to share… In Memoriam Peter Lynch Against forces of darkness he did not understand He became a casualty, Condemned to a hole to languish and rot, He became another fatality For the babies, he stepped forward and cried, Raising a voice for his people he dared When the children ask why their grandad die…

Showing the 12 most recent of 16 posts we hold for @RevJamesCostello. View and reaction counts are the latest single reading for each post, not a live figure, and a recent post is still accumulating both. A view count marked ≈ was rounded by Telegram before we ever saw it — t.me prints views in full below 1,000 and to three significant figures above, so ≈1,200,000 means somewhere between 1,150,000 and 1,249,999. Unmarked counts are exact. Text is reproduced from the public post preview and truncated for length.
Citation-graph rank — 1,133,554 of 1,160,990entries in the measured graph. A weighted position computed from the forward and mention edges below — republished posts weigh more than named mentions — and recomputed periodically, over the whole graph. Published only as this ordinal position, never as a score: a position is a fact, and a score printed beside one channel’s name would read as a verdict this register does not make. The two counts beneath stay separate for the same reason mentions are never summed with forwards anywhere else on this page — a named-by count costs nothing to manufacture. The top 100 by this measure, or how it is computed.
Republishes
Channels on the register whose posts this channel has forwarded.
Built only from forwarded posts we have actually read, on both sides. Coverage is early and deliberately incomplete: a missing link means we have not read the post that would prove it, never that the relationship does not exist. Counts are distinct forwarded posts observed, so they only ever go up as we read more.
Named by 1 registered channel — every channel on the register whose own posts have named this one, by its current username or any other username it currently holds, merged from two separately captured readings of the same fact so a namer caught by only one of them is not missed and a namer both caught is not counted twice. A username this channel has since dropped is not matched — that handle may belong to someone else now, and crediting today’s namer to yesterday’s owner would misattribute it.
Named by
Channels on the register whose posts name this channel's handle.
A mention is a weaker signal than a forward and is counted separately for that reason — naming a channel is not republishing it, and a handle in a post body is easy to place deliberately. The post counts beside each row below are distinct posts in which the handle appeared, from posts we have read on both sides — the “Named by N registered channels” figure above is a different count, of distinct NAMING CHANNELS rather than posts, and is not the sum of the rows under it.
A live page changes as we take new readings, so a citation should name the measurement it is based on, not just the URL. The line below cites the subscriber count as measured 13 August 2026 — this entry's latest reading, not the date you are reading this.
