Then it begs the question of why they even publicize the Telegram chat. I guess it’s for contributors only, not a support chat.

For some robots, they intentionally published false rooting instructions online, so you could only get it rooted via the telegram chat.

Then they banned you if you asked the wrong questions in there.

It's certainly the most hostile place on the internet I've encountered so far.
