Yeah, but you have to remember about one of the most important Open Source rules - when they close the door, we enter via window 😉 Anything that is not _explicitly_ forbidden in ToS is allowed, right?I doubt that they’ll change their APIs and methods _again_ just because some discussion software community found some loophole 😛

I’d like to ask you about [Telegram Notifications Plugin (discourse-telegram-notifications)](https://meta.discourse.org/t/telegram-notifications-plugin/60483) : it interacts with Telegram bot when regular :discourse: notification is created, is that right?

About the notifications - yes, they are available for every app, and if we’d combine it with embedding :discourse: instance as a FB canvas app, we would escape the TOS, as redirecting users _out of faceook_ by app is explixitly forbidden. And I still remember, that making canvas app out of regular website is rather straight-forward, I did something like this with Drupal once.

Perhaps we could use the “invite friend to this app” mechanism as well? Combined somehow (or not) with :discourse: built-in invitations system?
