Maybe a handful of other echos could open up for the gate.
The current moderator just needs to create matching-name
private group on Telegram and your Fido2telebot personality
just "joins" it?

It is good to have your willingness to step in. Thanks.

Hmmmm.. maybe this new outreach of fidonet echos could use
a dedicated Telenet-only FIDONET.STARTHERE (or something
like that) group or a read-only channel that advertises
which echos are gated and promotes this smooth and easy
accessibility via smartphone.
BTW.. how long have you been gating Telegram|FTN ?
