Today a family member asked me whether I use the Telegram messaging service.

My answer: “Technically yes, but not in the way you assumed when asking this question”.

The full explanation is simple. I do have the Telegram app installed on all my devices, but hardly ever use it to communicate with other people.

However, I have one main contact I use daily: a bot named Telegroam, which I use to send ideas and information to my Roam Research graph.
