یک مصاحبه ده سوالی با این شخص درباره چگونگی استخدامش در تلگرام و...👇🏽
🎤 Thanks to @Telegram (𝕏) for accepting the interview, Telegram X account admin and streamer.
➖➖➖➖
1⃣ Alright, intern, let’s start from the beginning. How did you discover and get the job as the administrator of Telegram’s X account, and how did you feel when you received confirmation that you had been hired?
Pretty simple. A friend tipped me off to a job posting on telegram.org/jobs for writers. I went and applied through the jobs bot and did some writing tasks. A few weeks later, woke up to a message from some stranger named Markus saying he had an offer I shouldn't refuse.
So I didn't.
2⃣ Your posts are truly iconic and unconventional. Do you think other companies or social media platforms should also use a more playful approach when communicating with their users?
Probably not. Other companies have to keep board members and execs and investors happy and most of them care only about money. I answer to one man and he likes funny.
3⃣ How do you respond to criticism from people who say that an official account should post fewer memes and be more diplomatic?
I heard there are ten million branded accounts putting out corpo slop. I'm sure they can find one boring enough to make them happy.4⃣ Do you think your posts accurately reflect the average Telegram user and the platform’s ideals?
God I hope not.
5⃣ It seems that there are multiple people behind the Telegram Intern role. Is that the case? If so, how many of you are there, and how do you organize yourselves?
I'm me but sometimes I'm he and together we're we except when we're thee. Intern is a state of mind.
6⃣ Which post are you most proud of, and which one do you wish you hadn’t made?
Hard to pick one. That first post clapping back against some Indian MP was probably the first real test of the new Twitter M.O. No ragrets.
7⃣ Let’s move on to Telegram: why should someone choose Telegram over another messaging app that focuses on security?
Every other app out there does what it does to make their shareholders rich. That's great if you're a shareholder, less so if you're a user. Telegram is monetized just enough to keep itself afloat and so the priority is making a service that works well and respects its users.
8⃣ What is your favorite Telegram feature, and why?
Again, hard to pick just one. The Edit feature is one I use constantly every day but the sticker maker is hard to beat for the memes.
9⃣ What is the best part of being the administrator of the X account of one of the largest messaging apps in the world?
Complete freedom to do as one pleases. There's no approval process, no mandates, no performance reviews. At no point is it there to sell anything or to try and convince users of things. It's just a good time. The instructions were clear: "don't be predictable" and "fear no one".
1⃣ And finally, what advice would you give to someone who would like to join the Telegram team?
Learn broadly - seek out culture, history, pop media, poetry, art. Focus specifically - know your niche and hone it into an art. Be funny - take an improv class if you must.
If you want to be on the tech side of things, I can't really give any advice except be the very best and win a contest. Being funny probably doesn't help there.
Cheers. 😽
