For the ones already using telegram, we created a debian nordics group

Feel free to join us.

I might join, but I am not sure whether it is a really good idea to
promote a non-free-service like Telegram from within Debian.
In terms of chat, we already have #debian-nordic, which is admittedly
pretty dead. For this reason, I am a bit skeptical whether adding a
fourth venue of communication besides the two mailinglists and
#debian-nordic on IRC will improve matters.
Note, that I don't mean to be discouraging and I do appreciate any
effort to put more life into the Nordic and Swedish Debian communities!
Regards, Andreas
I agree that we should encourage a true open source alternative like Mattermost or Matrix.org or Zulip instead.

As much as I love free software, I also need to consider how to make
things more active.
We can have IRC, Matrix, Mastodon, Diaspora, etc. But the last two
Debian meetups I hosted nobody from this mailing list showed up. So
we are talking about an empty audience. And worse: during the events, nobody was using Debian in their laptops (me included).
And everything is definitely mobile nowadays. Telegram isn't an
attempt to hijack this mailing list or any other communication media,
but to increase the possibilities. Even for newcomers.
BTW I use the free software client named "plus" to access Telegram.

If the kind of meetings you host are ones where non-Debian-users attend,
then perhaps it makes better sense to call them something else than
"Debian meetups".

Mobile is definitely a thing nowadays, but certainly not the only one.
Nice that you mention here that other user channels exist.

Nice. Even nicer if free software with a homepage and usable on
mainline linux - and if not already packaged in Debian then had an RFP
or ITP bureport filed - see http://www.debian.org/devel/wnpp/#l1
Good luck with that Telegram channel,
