62 posts held, back to 3 August 2026 — the reader has not yet reached the start of this channel’s public history, so older posts may sit further back, unread. Read across 11 pagesof Telegram’s post history, 20 posts per page.
ERR is average views per post over the last 30 days divided by subscribers, the definition TGStat uses, so this figure is comparable with the one you will see elsewhere. It falls structurally as a channel grows: a high ERR on a small channel and a low one on a large channel describe reach mathematics, not quality. We publish the figure and the sample it came from and pass no verdict on it.
ER is defined industry-wide as (forwards + reactions + comments) ÷ views— note the denominator is views, not subscribers. Telegram’s public web preview carries views and reactions but not forward or comment counts, so the reaction rate above is the reactions term only and is therefore a floor: the true ER for this channel is higher by an amount we have not measured and will not estimate.

Views are a single reading per post, taken at the time above. A post published in the last day or two is still accumulating views, which pulls the 30-day average down slightly. That is a property of the standard definition rather than a fault in it, so we keep the definition rather than “correcting” the number into something nobody can reproduce.
Precision. Telegram publishes view counts on its public widget in short form — 8.12K, 3.7M — so any reading at or above 1,000 reaches us rounded to three significant figures, and only counts below 1,000 are exact. Averages and rates derived from them are shown to the same precision rather than to the unit: a figure like 3,701,250 would assert digits nobody measured.
Reaction counts are published per emoji and rounded the same way, so a total below 1,000 is exact and a larger one is a sum that may carry a rounded component from each emoji above 1,000. Because it is a sum, it does not look rounded — read a large reaction total as three significant figures per contributing emoji rather than as the figure it prints.
Lifetime counters from Telegram’s own channel header, read 12 August 2026 — not the date at the top of this page, which is when the subscriber count was last read. A count marked ≈ was rounded by Telegram before we ever saw it — t.me prints these counters in full below 1,000 and to three significant figures above, so ≈142,000 means somewhere between 141,500 and 142,499.
Measured directly from 47 videos with a duration reading, out of the posts we hold for this channel — not this channel’s whole posting history, only the sample this register has actually read. An exact reading to the second, taken from the post itself rather than from Telegram’s own rounded chrome, so it carries no ≈ mark.

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 62 of the 62 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 1,245reactions in total: the kind of figure the paragraph above means by “a reaction total printed elsewhere on the page”.
Measured over the 62 most recent posts we hold, published 3 August 2026 to 12 August 2026, using the newest reading held for each. Telegram Stars are excluded: they are a payment, not a reaction, and they have their own section.
Britain’s🇬🇧 officials make their first, brave steps outside of the cave of idiocy they have been living in: The Times reports that British Defence Chiefs are under pressure to reboot channels with Russia🇷🇺, amid fears that a misunderstanding at sea could trigger a full-scale war. British and Russian military chiefs have not spoken in 4 years. You would think that maintaining basic deconfliction channels with the c…

Palestine’s President Mahmoud Abbas: ‘We want Palestine’s legitimate sovereignty restored in Gaza as soon as possible. Gaza is an inseparable part of the State of Palestine. We say there can be no state in Gaza separate from Palestine.’ One question on the minds of millions on what on Earth has Mahmoud Abbas done while Israel conducted genocide in Gaza, and as Israeli settlers continue to steal land in the West Ba…

On this day in 1945, Emperor Hirohito of Imperial Japan informs the royal family of his intention to surrender, after the US’ use of nuclear weapons and the Soviet Union joining the war. Here are just some of the atrocities he presided over in China🇨🇳: Nanjing Massacre (1937–1938) Approximately 200,000–300,000 Chinese civilians and surrendered soldiers murdered in six weeks. Mass rape, beheadings, live burials, an…

Secretary of State Marco Rubio: ‘Tupac is my favourite rapper of all time, he was a narrator more than anything else.’ Tupac: “They got money for wars, but can’t feed the poor.” Maybe if Marco Rubio actually bothered to listen to Tupac’s music, he would realise Tupac would have despised him.

Donald Trump: Iranians are ‘devious and dishonest’ negotiators. Of course the United States has a great record of being honest negotiators with Iran, such as: Ripping up the UNSC-approved JCPOA nuclear deal Using the cover of negotiations to start wars against Iran Showing no understanding of the terms of the very Memorandum of Understanding that they signed Using negotiations during war for Trump and his coteri…

Hunter Biden to Tucker Carlson: ‘If it’s antisemitic to point out that Bibi Netanyahu is evil incarnate then I don’t know what to say to people anymore. All you have to do is just open your eyes. Open your heart for one minute.’ By the same definition, his father Genocide Joe Biden is also evil incarnate for being one of the chief architects of the Gaza genocide and providing the weaponry for Netanyahu’s barbarism.

Did you know? During the US' bombing of Laos, the US dropped 270 million cluster bombs on Laos, 80 million of which did not detonate. The US dropped more bombs on Laos than the total number of bombs dropped on Japan🇯🇵 and Germany🇩🇪 combined during WW2. More than 25,000 people have been killed since the US' bombing campaign ceased. At the current rate of clearing the unexploded bombs, it will take 100 years to succe…

Donald Trump has once again declared that the Strait of Hormuz is ‘OPEN NOW.’ Only 6-13 ships transited through the Strait yesterday, dramatically below the pre-war 100-140 vessels a day. The President of the United States is firmly in the business of just declaring things and asserting they are true, even though his declarations are completely divorced from reality.

Prof. John Mearsheimer: ‘Hawkish mainstream media were SUPPORTIVE of Donald Trump’s war on Iran until it went south. There are really no institutions in the United States, except for alternative media platforms, that challenge him. Those alternative media platforms have played an important role in shifting public opinion against President Trump on a number of key foreign policy issues. But that opposition from the…

But it is intense here in the United States.

Second point I’d make is that she has Israel lobby written all over her, there’s no question abou…

Showing the 12 most recent of 62 posts we hold for @goingundergroundRT. 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 — 130,196 of 1,151,006entries 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.

Channels on the register that have forwarded this channel's posts into their own feed.
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.
@goingundergroundRT named 1 handle that resolve to nothing today. That is a fact about the reference, not necessarily a fact about the handle’s history — see the two groups below.
Most of these may never have existed as a live channel at all.A handle a channel names can be a typo, an aspirational name nobody registered, or a channel that was already gone before this one ever mentioned it. Unless a row below is marked evidenced, all we know is that it references a handle that is not a live channel today — not that anything “died”. How this is measured.
References a handle that is not a live channel — we have no record it ever was one.
