8 posts held, back to 11 September 2021 — 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 8 posts for this entry, the most recent from 4 October 2021. An engagement rate over an empty window would be a number about nothing.

Lifetime counters from Telegram’s own channel header, read 7 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.

After Chile we will work on Brazil
Article should be finished tomorrow with about 400 videos/photos for 4th of May in Colombia Afterwards we will move to Guatemala, maybe Panama too, & then move back to Colombia for another few days and then move to Chile
Just a heads up: singular articles on Colombia take a few days because I will be doing every city in a single article, which makes my computer crash more than a few times and takes several hundred photos/videos
We're done with El Salvador for now, so we'll be archiving the May uprising in Colombia for a few days and then moving to Chile & Guatemala
Showing the 8 most recent of 8 posts we hold for @protestsdotmedia. 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.

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.
