Not related to degods but:
1) Telegram group can be turned into βtopicsβ which makes UX thread like just like in slack/discord. So you can have announcements, and subchats inside a single group
2) you can mute/unmute topics one by one or mute all at once
3) you can search messages in group by person
This + the fact that telegram is just a better UX-wise (10x less lags/glitches compared to discord) actually makes it a decent choice. Just not very popular and used among nft communities.
