I'm not directly responsible for anything involved with the project, other than testing the functionality and making suggestions for improvements when I notice things.
That being said, honestly, as I understand it, August or Stas are contacting the moderators to receive permission to connect any echos to Telegram prior to doing so, as is required according to their ELIST entries. If the users of these echos have any issues with this, it should be taken up with the echo moderators involved.
I will say that in hind site, even with moderator approval, going live with linking the echos with Telegram without informing the existing Fido users of the fact prior, and explaining what it is, how it works, privacy information, etc. beforehand likely wasn't the best way to move forward.
As Z1C, honestly I'm not entirely familiar with how the heirarchy works, I would guess you either direct the questions to the moderators involved, or Fidonet policy makers make a ruling on the matter.
