I will cut it short and then lock this thread as it's going nowhere.
You asked why we made a decision to push Telegram.
And we answered that there was no decision, nor intention to push people to Telegram.
This was just a convenient way for developers to communicate and it stuck.
Because the UBports community inherited work done previously by Canonical.
Now you can repeat all you want that UBports is encouraging people to use Telegram it will not make it true.
If you want porting advice you can ask on the forum, there is a category here dedicated to it.
But as a matter of fact, porters prefer to use Telegram 🤷♂
