I understand this to mean that you would be fine with just the gating operation, and not the moderation task (spotting spam, blocking users, etc) on the Telegram side?  If so, that makes perfect sense. Infact, that way the moderation task is truly within the realm of the purportedly recognized fidonet moderator.  I wonder if it could turn out to be an overwhelming task for the moderator to keep abreast of new users joining on the Telegram side.

As a minimum, I would assume that for fidonet purposes, any gated group would be best set up as a private group to start with?

The fidonet.online group sounds good, but I failed to pay attention to my grandmother when she demonstrated some proficiency in the language.
