The bundle contains the canonical record plus signed events. A mirror can host it anywhere and recompute the same current state with the deterministic merge algorithm.

Claims

C1strongest claim

The dataset offers a foundation for studying engagement patterns, network evolution, and community formation in the absence of algorithmic curation.

C2weakest assumption

That the collected public messages, when restricted by language, provide a representative and unbiased view of user behavior on an algorithm-free platform, as stated in the abstract's description of advantages.

C3one line summary

A large-scale longitudinal dataset of public Telegram content is introduced to enable studies of engagement patterns and network evolution without algorithmic curation.
