Threadkiller

Telegram bot to delete messages sent outside of threads

Quick setup

Add @the_threadkiller_bot to a Telegram group of your choice, then give it permission to Delete messages and to Pin messages.

Why?

Telegram discussion groups are buggy and weird.
Sending a message there without it being a reply to any other message means that channel viewers will not see it, despite the message probably being a reply to the immediately previous message.

This bot deletes all messages sent in the groups it's in except for replies to channel messages or messages starting with /thread.
