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.
