## What it is
Telepathy-Community is a Python command-line OSINT toolkit for collecting and analyzing public Telegram chats, including archiving messages and media, gathering member lists, mapping forwarded messages, and user/location lookups. It is aimed at OSINT analysts, journalists, and researchers, but the project is no longer maintained and the default branch currently fails to install.

## Use cases
- archive public telegram chats and media
- collect member lists of telegram groups
- analyze top posters in a telegram chat
- map forwarded message networks
- look up telegram users by location
- investigate telegram channels for journalism

## When to choose
- you need a ready-made CLI for archiving and analyzing public Telegram chats
- you are doing OSINT research on Telegram and can tolerate fixing the code yourself
- you want an MIT-licensed toolkit you can fork and maintain

## When to avoid
- you need a working out-of-the-box install - the default branch has an IndentationError and broken packaging
- you need maintained software with responsive issue support - open issues go unanswered
- you need private chat access or features beyond public Telegram data
