> No functional website You surely don't mean web.telegram.com isn't functional?

What I meant is t.me site with "channel previews". web.telegram.com redirects to www.usatoday.com You probably meant web.telegram.org which is well hidden and nowhere to be found on their web site so I didn't know about it. Thanks for that. The point on blocking still remains. You wouldn't have solution for that as well? :)

  > web.telegram.com redirects to www.usatoday.com ... why? > The point on blocking still remains That would be a cool feature - they take feature requests at https://bugs.telegram.org/ https://bugs.telegram.org/ - I'm not aware of any competing apps that have it so it's possible noone has requested this before. Seems novel.

It's not hidden, it's right there in the list of apps along with everything else: https://telegram.org/apps https://telegram.org/apps > The point on blocking still remains. You wouldn't have solution for that as well? :) Some custom clients allow you to block users in group chats (and also can filter out spam in channels). Depends on your platform though.

    Yeah, now that I know it exists I can find it. Yet on the main page where all the telegram client downloads are it's absent: https://telegram.org/ https://telegram.org/ I guess I didn't think I need to search for the web site in the Apps.

      It's at the bottom of the page in the footer - links to https://telegram.org/dl/web https://telegram.org/dl/web ;)

        You're correct. I guess this sort of UI didn't work for me. I learned to ignore footnotes for anything useful.
