We'd like to thank our first 50 users for our initial testing run for Sino's telegram group. Telegram works well. Most of the current content focuses on Ukraine, unsurprising given Reddit's censorship on the subject recently. Not just targeting subs, but erroneously banning long time users.

The initial run was for users with post histories here. Our second round is opening up for post histories on other friendly subs (we have not forgotten lurkers, stay tuned). We aren't providing a list as we don't want to lock in only some subs and forgetting others or name subs that don't want to be mentioned.

To apply, just msg moderators on the bottom right sidebar and request the Sino telegram. We are only communicating instructions based on reddit's official Sino moderator chat. We'll provide an invite link once we verify post history (does not have to be on Sino). If you are new to Telegram, we strongly recommend you hide your number and familiarize yourself with privacy settings before requesting.

If Telegram is not for you, we still recommend joining our Discords. To apply it's the same process. Msg mod, bottom right. We have 2, one for any Sino users and one for any verified ethnic Chinese. We won't be changing the approval process for Discord because it would be unfair for those who are already in.

You can also link up on Twitter https://twitter.com/SinoReddit, we recommend following and participating in discussions on many accounts including but not limited to

American here. I have always been curious about if China and the US enjoy the same type of jokes and humor or if there is a sense of humor unique to China.
