Ah I forgot I had access to this channel from another account.

So long story short, I lost my @AlgorithmWolf account and it's now temporarily @AlgorithmWolfIsDead until support returns to me with a solution.

I don't have access to other channels with my alt account, so I can only post it here, sorry if you were expecting a meme, lol.

This is what happened, when I sent the link inside this pastebin, my account got logged off from every single device I have.

To be clear, the pastebin link I shared is not the problem. The problem is the link inside this pastebin. It's a NYT article with a bunch of tracking garbage, and I think that tripped the anti spam system

I will stop posting memes for a while.

Aaaand they banned me again on @AlgorithmWolfIsDead

Telegram is banning many people incredibly aggressively, don't just take my word for it: https://twitter.com/search?q=Telegram%20banned%20me

I also recommend deleting PMs from both ends because it is possible whoever logs into my account would leak private messages.

As I announced on the memes channel, my Ulven account @AlgorithmWolf was permanently lost. I have contacted support, but they are unresponsive and I assume the account will be deleted when the inactivity timer expires. I know it is not deleted, but I am unable to access it.

I do not have other accounts at the moment, so if anyone contacts you claiming to be Ulven, it is an impostor.

I am thinking about my next steps.

The only reason I can post to this channel and the memes channel is because I created a Telegram bot, to which I gave permission to write, in case things went wrong. However, I cannot add, ban, remove users, change the information, or do anything other than post messages.

If you run a group that still has my @AlgorithmWolf account, I recommend banning and deleting it from the group, because it is possible someone else could gain access to my account and compromise the group if I had admin privileges, or send spam with it.

For now you can find me on Bluesky:

Fediverse:

@AlgorithmWolf@ioc.exchange
@AlgorithmWolf@blob.cat
@AlgorithmWolf@toot.io

I may not come back, but if I do, I have to recreate every single channel and group that I own, so we'll see.

It is frustrating how Telegram can force log out every single device from your account, with no recourse, and if you lost the original phone number it was registered with, it is not possible to log back in.

This happened after I tried to send a NYT link via PM to a person I had been talking to for a while.

Expect to see me coming back around the end of October / beginning of November on a new Telegram account. I will publish the new username here.

This all came at a really unfortunate point in my life when I have been extraordinarily busy, that is why it took me so long, which on the other hand has been quite positive as it allowed me to focus away from the hundred Telegram groups I was in.

Please feel free to add @A_Star_Ulven to any groups I used to be in. I have temporarily enabled groups and channel invites. If that doesn't work, you can also send me a link.

Since I lost ownership of my other channels and groups, time to restart everything I guess... Here we go.
