General Discussion / Re: Witness Alerts and Status

The telegram chat is great and the bot works wonderfully but it's too general for an emergency channel. I often find myself muting it for 8 hours at a time, because there's just too much chatter to keep up with. The same happened to the nullstreet slack group back in the day, it became impossible and pointless to follow. An emergency/alert system has to be heavily curated, used very scarcely and impossible to ignore. A restricted forum thread that witnesses subscribe to fits the bill.
