    BBSes are still, to me, long-form media. After seeing some of the experiments with Telegram integration into Fidonet, I'm leaning the opposite direction. I like having a place where I can thoughtfully
    type a response into a real keyboard, not compose a 140 character
    response onto a touch screen.

    I would have to agree with you on all these points, actually.

    Whoah! That one goes back a few months, eh? :D

    A year later, the Telegram integration is pretty slick. It was
    never limited to 140 chars. Infact, even most FTN/bbs
    responses are shorter than that. :/

    The Telegram desktop version accommodates laptops and fullsize
    pcs w/keyboards for all the longform responses one desires.
