16 posts held, back to 17 July 2026 — the reader has not yet reached the start of this channel’s public history, so older posts may sit further back, unread. Read across 1 page of Telegram’s post history, 20 posts per page.
Nothing published in the last 30 days. ERR and ER are rolling 30-day measures, so there is nothing to compute — we hold 16 posts for this entry, the most recent from 7 August 2026. An engagement rate over an empty window would be a number about nothing.
123 reactions across 16 posts, in 8 distinct kinds. The most used accounts for 74.8% of them.

No sentiment is inferred, and none should be read in. This table is ordered by count and by nothing else. Emoji do not carry stable meaning across languages or communities — 🙏 is thanks in one channel and mourning in another — so we publish which ones were pressed and how often, and pass no judgement on what an audience meant by them.
Precision. Telegram publishes reaction counts per emoji and short-forms each one — 4.34K, 1.2M — so any single kind at or above 1,000 reaches us at three significant figures, and only counts below 1,000 are exact. The shares above are ratios of those figures and carry the same error. This is also why the total here can differ slightly from a reaction total printed elsewhere on the page: both are sums of the same rounded parts, taken over samples with different edges.
Coverage. Reactions were read on 16 of the 16 sampled posts in this sample. Summed by Telegram’s own count on each post — not by adding up the per-emoji breakdown above — those same posts carry 123 reactions in total: the kind of figure the paragraph above means by “a reaction total printed elsewhere on the page”.
Measured over the 16 most recent posts we hold, published 17 July 2026 to 7 August 2026, using the newest reading held for each. Telegram Stars are excluded: they are a payment, not a reaction, and they have their own section.

Tuesday was pretty intense, huh! The participation spreadsheet takes a really long time to load now 😅 https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1tSBvZSKI1Y2HHbEiHn-Duf8cPLALXv3u2T6Y9eC5jkI/edit

The nonbinary names survey is now closed and the report is up! https://gendercensus.tumblr.com/post/823884861218635776/2026-nonbinary-name-survey-results There were over 11,000 participants, and over 20,000 names. (The big annual survey is still open until 13th Aug, so if you see your name here you might want to consider: https://survey.gendercensus.com) [Reposting with a minor correction to the Top 20 graph.]

Hi folks! 13 days left and we're well on the way to 27,000 participants, about 300 to go. I have nerdily added some notes to some graphs so that I can see what affects the numbers.

Example: If someone's name is Shane, their pronouns might be sha/shane/shanes/shanes/shaneself. "Shane bought shaneself a long novel for shanes intercontinental flight."

Do you want to be referred to by others with pronouns that are based on your name/nickname?
Shares as published. No per-option vote count is published by Telegram, so none is shown.

On the tiny change to the survey that I was worried would crash participation, but it actually doubled it: https://gendercensus.tumblr.com/post/823423073854291969/halfway

Check out this fun graph that Google Sheets made on the public participation spreadsheet very briefly while I was updating it. :D (It's back to normal now but it was gloriously incomprehensible while it lasted.) PS: If your gender does this sometimes, do the survey: https://survey.gendercensus.com

On the referrers tab of the participation spreadsheet, 16 people arrived at the survey from a flyer/leaflet, and that's right below people who arrived from Twitter (22 people). I think it would be great and really funny if flyer/leaflet could be above Twitter. That would be so satisfying for me, because Elon Musk is a knobhead and old school hardcopy everything is the best. So, if everyone could please print out so…

Showing the 12 most recent of 16 posts we hold for @gendercensus. View and reaction counts are the latest single reading for each post, not a live figure, and a recent post is still accumulating both. A view count marked ≈ was rounded by Telegram before we ever saw it — t.me prints views in full below 1,000 and to three significant figures above, so ≈1,200,000 means somewhere between 1,150,000 and 1,249,999. Unmarked counts are exact. Text is reproduced from the public post preview and truncated for length.
The poll we hold for this entry, as Telegram rendered it when we read the post. A poll’s figures keep moving after that, so each one is dated.

Shares as published. No per-option vote count is published by Telegram, so none is shown.
Percentages only — there are no per-option vote counts here, because Telegram publishes none. The public post preview gives each option’s share and a single voter total, and nothing else. Multiplying one by the other would produce a per-option tally that looks measured and is not: the shares are rounded to whole numbers before we ever see them. We print what was published and leave the column that does not exist empty.
The shares need not add up to 100. Rounding alone puts many polls at 99 or 101. A poll that allows more than one answer per voter runs well past 100 by design, and several here do. The bars are drawn against a fixed 100% track at each option’s own percentage rather than normalised to the total, so a poll that exceeds it shows that it does instead of being quietly rescaled.
Read from the 16 most recent posts we hold, published 17 July 2026 to 7 August 2026. Telegram labels each poll by kind — an anonymous poll, a quiz, a closed set of final results — and that label is reproduced rather than paraphrased.

Built only from forwarded posts we have actually read, on both sides. Coverage is early and deliberately incomplete: a missing link means we have not read the post that would prove it, never that the relationship does not exist. Counts are distinct forwarded posts observed, so they only ever go up as we read more.
A live page changes as we take new readings, so a citation should name the measurement it is based on, not just the URL. The line below cites the subscriber count as measured 27 August 2026 — this entry's latest reading, not the date you are reading this.
