I have a favour to ask.

My Telegram account has been partially restricted for weeks. I can't create groups or send DMs unless it's a reply. This is significantly affecting my coordination work. Radio silence from Telegram support—tried all channels I could find.

For context I got restricted after creating a dozen or so groups titled "[zkVM vendor] + ethproofs.org". I'm guessing putting a link in the group names was the big mistake.

If someone could help me get in touch with a Telegram insider I'd be extremely grateful :)

Same thing happened to me and some SEAL 911 colleagues because we were sharing phishing links for research purposes.

The fix, ironically, was to spam @spambot on TG with like a dozen tickets saying I didn't spam.
