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? :)

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.

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