Can you prove your channel was active and not dead just for squatting?

For what it's worth, I couldn't find any links anywhere on the net (Google, Bing...) to "https://t.me/kissfm". I've searched for even small Telegram channels I follow, and they all show up in search results.

Fair enough! However, if the channel was inactive, I guess it's hard to distinguish an upcoming project with a squatted channel. Maybe contact Telegram?

Already dropped them a message, but not sure they'll ever get back to me.

the channel was in pending state, waiting for a project to be ready, to integrate it with the site https://kissfm.md
