20 posts held, back to 10 July 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 1 pageof 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. It is computed over the 8 of 18 measured posts that carry a reaction reading, and over those same posts' views.

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 7 August 2026 — not the date at the top of this page, which is when the subscriber count was last read. Below Telegram’s rounding threshold, so these counts are exact.
28 reactions across 8 posts, in 6 distinct kinds. The most used accounts for 35.7% of them.
| Reaction | Count | Share | Share, drawn |
|---|---|---|---|
| 🔥 | 10 | 35.7% | |
| 😁 | 8 | 28.6% | |
| ❤ | 5 | 17.9% | |
| 👌 | 2 | 7.14% | |
| 👍 | 2 | 7.14% | |
| 💯 | 1 | 3.57% |
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 8 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 28reactions 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 10 July 2026 to 5 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.
🏍️ One spot just became available for this founder/investor adventure. My friends at 12 Scrappy Founders are hosting a dirt biking experience this Saturday, Aug. 8, in Los Gatos. It's a small group of Seed to Series B+ founders and investors. No experience is required—it's beginner-friendly, with professional instructors. In fact, several attendees have never ridden a motorcycle before. I was planning to join, but…

The new reality of my laptop power consumption.
Last Friday I joined a VC Happy Hour in Palo Alto, where Ali Moiz introduced his new book, 3 Startups, 40 Pivots: How to Not F*cking Give Up. The book isn't another startup playbook. It's the story of Ali and Murti Hussain's 20+ year entrepreneurial journey—building three startups, making more than 40 pivots, raising venture capital, navigating failures, and ultimately building successful companies. The central mess…

This McDonald's post went viral because it did one thing exceptionally well: It turned a shared customer experience into an inside joke. We've all pulled up to the drive-thru and said, "Can I get... uhhhhhh..." McDonald's simply acknowledged it. That made people feel seen. The best brands don't just sell products—they create moments their customers instantly recognize and relate to. Ask yourself: Are you just se…

It's Friday FUN time. Peak Apple. A $199 metal claw to stop your MacBook from going to sleep while your AI agents keep working. It's called the iClaw. 😂 The funniest part is that people actually looked for it in the Apple Store. And if Apple ever released it, it would probably outsell most AI startups.

--- Someone drew this about life. It works just as well for startups, or enterprise strategic initiatives. Birth on one end. Death on every branch. In between, a lot of choices. Both work the same way. Every junction is a decision, and most of the deaths on this map are avoidable - the risk was there to be seen before anyone committed. So success is mostly not dying. Every avoidable risk you catch keeps the ventu…

Unitree Super Athlete AS2-W. Look at that mobility, amazing. Fluid movement. Supports a continuous 16kg payload, with 30+ km unloaded driving range.
The Vision BMW ALPINA - unveiled at Villa d'Este this spring. It's the first car since BMW took full control of the Alpina brand this year. A 5.2-meter grand tourer with a V8, positioned above M and aimed straight at Bentley. Production starts 2027. The car is beautiful. The strategy behind it is better. Alpina spent 60 years as a small family operation making BMWs better than BMW could. Instead of letting that fad…
YC published its Requests for Startups for Fall 2026. Thirteen ideas they want to fund. Read it twice. Founders read it as a menu. But if you're a corporate executive, read it as a warning: each line is a market where funded teams will show up within a year, moving faster than your planning cycle. What jumps out to me: almost nothing on the list is about better models. Data centers on ships. Sensors for factory fl…
Saw this cartoon in a post by Andreas Horn. The comments mostly agree on one thing: AI fails at execution. I've been around too many of these projects to buy that. By the time execution starts falling apart, the failure already happened months earlier, in a boardroom, when the decision was made on assumptions and gut feeling instead of deep research and expertise. The landmines were all there from day one. And it's…
Hi all, We’d like to invite you to the first webinar of our INSIDE THE 2% series: De-risk the $10M+ Strategic Initiative - Thursday, September 17, 9:00 AM PT, on Zoom. 98% of growth ideas never pay off. Professor Pedram Mokrian - INNOVERA CEO and Co-founder - will walk through the go/no-go framework for committing capital with confidence: why strong business cases fail, what evidence actually matters, and how to mak…
Showing the 12 most recent of 20 posts we hold for @siliconnector. 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 — 392,785 of 1,169,250entries 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.
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.
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 7 August 2026 — this entry's latest reading, not the date you are reading this.
