Topic

Politics & activism — a classification, not a measurement. An on-box language model (Qwen3.6-35B-A3B-FP8, prompt version 1) read this channel’s own recent posts on 20 September 2026 and assigned it the closest of 31 fixed categories, at 97% confidence. This is a model’s judgement about what the channel is likely to be about, not a fact this register measured the way a subscriber count or a view count is measured — it can be revised on a later pass, and it carries no weight anywhere else on this page. How this classification works, and why it has no browse page of its own yet.

5 measurements spanning 41 days, net -7. Dots are measurements; the straight line between them is drawn to join them, not to claim we know the path taken in between — snapshots are recorded only when a count changes, so gaps mean “no change observed”, never “interpolated”. The vertical axis spans 761–770 and does not start at zero.

Engagement

20 posts held, back to 20 May 2024the reader has not yet reached the start of this channel’s public history, so older posts may sit further back, unread. Read across 1 page of 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 20 posts for this entry, the most recent from 28 October 2025. An engagement rate over an empty window would be a number about nothing.

Reaction mix

436 reactions across 16 posts, in 19 distinct kinds. The most used accounts for 38.5% 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 17 of the 20 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 436 reactions in total: the kind of figure the paragraph above means by “a reaction total printed elsewhere on the page”.

Measured over the 20 most recent posts we hold, published 20 May 2024 to 28 October 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.

FNV (https://fnv.nl), the largest trade union in the Netherlands with over 1 million members, has officially expressed their intent to support us on the naturalisation issue and the lack of transition periods. FNV is one of the most powerful and influential organizations in the country, capable of negotiating directly with the government and political parties to make our voices heard. 📅 A meeting with FNV and membe

📱 Please please please share the following message with your expat community on LinkedIn, and help raise awareness: If you're a non-EU Highly Skilled Migrant in the Netherlands, there's a new bill by the government which will affect you soon. 🚨 It will make the time required to be in the Netherlands 10 years instead of the current 5 years. 🚨 It WILL apply to the people who are already in the Netherlands.

🚨🚨 There's something I noticed when talking to my colleagues in my company regarding this naturalisation change. Some people got concerned, but the majority didn't, thinking that this bill won't apply to them and it will only apply to newcomers. It makes me believe that we need to still raise more awareness regarding this issue, especially with our colleagues. Because of this, it'd be great if we can have a raise-

The caretaker government has made the initial draft of the 10 year naturalisation bill public. You can see it here: https://www.internetconsultatie.nl/naturalisatietermijn/document/14622 What we see: - There's no transitional period. If you are in the country for 4 years and 11 months, and then suddenly the new bill comes to effect, you need to wait another 5 years to apply for citizenship. - If you apply before 5

🚨🚨🚨 The government, despite falling, has decided to push through changes related to making the citizenship period 10 years. This could potentially impact you even if you are already living in the Netherlands ‼️ They aim is to have a bill prepared for this by Q4 2025. We need to raise awareness to make sure these changes don't apply to HSMs for now. How can you help? 1- Join https://t.me/HSMNaturalisation where w

The Dutch Cabinet has fallen with the PVV party pulling out of the coalition. This means that any 'potential' changes to the naturalization period will be delayed by at least a year (roughly speaking). You can join the discussion in this Telegram group: https://t.me/HSMNaturalisation

There will be a debate tomorrow in the parliament regarding the potential removal of the HSM visa in favor of EU Blue Card status: https://www.tweedekamer.nl/kamerstukken/wetsvoorstellen/detail?cfg=wetsvoorsteldetails&qry=wetsvoorstel%3A36332 There's a lot of speculation going around regarding what it will exactly be, but this could potentially mean way stricter laws regarding the salary criteria and less visas bei

The government wants to limit Highly Skilled Migrant visas issued by payroll companies: https://www.salarisvanmorgen.nl/2024/11/12/aanscherping-kennismigrantenregeling-maatregelen-misbruik-door-erkend-referenten/ The limitations look big to me, and if I my HSM visa was sponsored through a payroll company, I'd be concerned.

Showing the 12 most recent of 20 posts we hold for @hsmnaturalisationNL. 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.

Forward network

Republished by

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.
