4 | | -Hacman has [a Telegram group](https://t.me/HACManchester) which you are |
5 | | -welcome to join! |
6 | | - |
7 | | -This contains many Hackspace members, as well as interested or |
8 | | -interesting people. It's a good place to ask questions for a quick |
9 | | -answer, ask for advice, or share news and links of interest to fellow |
10 | | -hackers. There are [web](https://telegram.org/dl/webogram) clients for |
11 | | -Telegram, as well as official clients for [Windows, Linux, OS |
12 | | -X](https://desktop.telegram.org/), |
13 | | -[Android](https://telegram.org/dl/android), |
14 | | -[iOS](https://telegram.org/dl/ios), and [Windows |
15 | | -Phone](https://telegram.org/dl/wp). You will need a phone number (not |
16 | | -necessarily a UK one) to sign up for Telegram. |
17 | | - |
18 | | -Please familiarise yourself with our [Citizen Hacman |
19 | | -Commitment](https://list.hacman.org.uk/t/citizen-hacman-a-revised-membership-agreement-and-hackspace-rules-final/2609) |
20 | | -before chatting. |

22 | | -#### Notifications |
23 | | - |
24 | | -This is a relatively high traffic channel (replacing IRC, which is no |
25 | | -longer active). It's recommended that if using a phone app you disable |
26 | | -notifications for the group (you will still receive notifications if |
27 | | -someone sends you a PM, or if someone addresses or mentions you |
28 | | -specifically). |
29 | | - |
30 | | -### Group Channels |
31 | | - |
32 | | -**Note we were using <http://protect-mylinks.com/addlinks> to avoid spam bots adding |
33 | | -themselves to the channels, but it looks like they've started using annoying adds so that's been turned off** |
34 | | - |
35 | | -Several groups that look after parts of the hackspace have specific |
36 | | -channels on telegram so they don't clog up the main channel. |
