20 posts held, back to 28 January 2023 — the reader has not yet reached the start of this channel’s public history, so older posts may sit further back, unread. Read across 32 pagesof 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 10 July 2023. An engagement rate over an empty window would be a number about nothing.
Lifetime counters from Telegram’s own channel header, read 26 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 1 video 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.
4,258 reactions across 20 posts, in 6 distinct kinds. The most used accounts for 67.5% 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 20 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 4,258reactions 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 28 January 2023 to 10 July 2023, using the newest reading held for each. Telegram Stars are excluded: they are a payment, not a reaction, and they have their own section.

The Ukraine War is 10x dumber than the Vietnam War ever was. This one is America starting World War III by attacking Russia’s sovereignty with the imperialistic expansion of NATO, all while being to CORRUPT to vote on it, and too COWARDLY to declare it! WHERE ARE THE PROTESTS?

If they can do it to Trump, they can do it to you

Upon hearing news of President Trump’s 34 count indictment, I am disheartened to see the Free Country that I grew up in turn into a Banana Republic no better than Venezuela. Donald Trump WON the 2020 Election. Look at crowd sizes, the Maricopa County Audit, and 2,000 Mules.

DeSantis grew up in the Establishment and only became “Anti-Establishment” to align himself with the MAGA movement. He is a trained politician from Yale who has prior careers in the Military Industrial Complex and Academia (where he drank with underage students)

Was Ron DeSantis ever a member of the Skull and Bones Society in his time at Yale?

Ron DeSantis would NOT be a good Vice President for Trump in 2024. He isn’t a team player!

BREAKING 🚨 President Trump announced that he will be doing a live “Play by Play” analysis of the State Of The Union tonight on TRUTH Social at 9pm. Who else will be watching?

Mitt Romney and John McCain were establishment Republicans who ran to lose and give voters the illusion of choice. Ron DeSantis is the exact same thing

Showing the 12 most recent of 20 posts we hold for @realAlexSheppard. 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.
The poll we hold for this entry, as Telegram rendered it when we read the post. A poll’s figures keep moving after that, so each one is dated.
What slogan should the DeSantis campaign use?
Shares as published, totalling 99%. No per-option vote count is published by Telegram, so none is shown.
Percentages only — there are no per-option vote counts here, because Telegram publishes none.The public post preview gives each option’s share and a single voter total, and nothing else. Multiplying one by the other would produce a per-option tally that looks measured and is not: the shares are rounded to whole numbers before we ever see them. We print what was published and leave the column that does not exist empty.
The shares need not add up to 100.Rounding alone puts many polls at 99 or 101. A poll that allows more than one answer per voter runs well past 100 by design, and several here do. The bars are drawn against a fixed 100% track at each option’s own percentage rather than normalised to the total, so a poll that exceeds it shows that it does instead of being quietly rescaled.
Read from the 20 most recent posts we hold, published 28 January 2023 to 10 July 2023. Telegram labels each poll by kind — an anonymous poll, a quiz, a closed set of final results — and that label is reproduced rather than paraphrased.
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 25 August 2026 — this entry's latest reading, not the date you are reading this.
