i watched scammers steal hundreds of thousands from a community while using my face. people lost life savings. whales got drained. team members got fooled. and i couldn't do shit about it. here's the story (and why i built collony) 🧵

@levelsio been solving this for telegram/discord communities at @collonybot even smaller communities see hundreds of attacks daily expanding to x, reddit & others soon - the problem is universal across every social platform crazy how much time people waste manually blocking bots & spam

To give you an idea of how bad the AI bot problem was getting I muted about 17,500 of them, then started blocking them recently, so another 3,000 99% bots So I blocked about 2.5% of my follower count and didn't even get close to stop AI replies either

@GnomiApp išsibandysim, ačiū! 🫶🏻🇱🇹🫶🏻

most web3 communities still use rose, combot, mee6 those catch basic spam. miss sophisticated attacks. collony is different: - behavior analysis vs keywords - telegram + discord in one place - AI for nights/weekends 50% lower costs, stronger security collony.ai

our AI wished the @NATIX_Network community happy valentine's day before anyone else did ❤️ not just keeping their 29k community safe 24/7 - but actually taking care of it when the team is offline happy valentine's day from the collony team!

Web3 communities face a moderation paradox: More growth = more scammers More bots = more maintenance More manual work = burned out CMs The answer isn't more tools. It's smarter ones. Telegram live now. Discord launching this month. Join the waitlist 👇 collony.ai

We're excited to announce that @shordexio is now using collony to protect their Telegram community 🛡️ Shordex builds fully decentralized, institutional-grade hedging solutions for retail and institutional users. We keep their community safe 24/7 and support user education 🟡

our mission is simple: keep communities safe so people can actually enjoy crypto without losing their life savings to some scammer with a fake pfp. let's make the internet safer for everyone 🌍 collony.ai

so we built @collonybot 🛡️ 24/7 AI that detects impersonators, fake support accounts, and social engineering before they ever DM your community. scams are getting more sophisticated. it's a cat and mouse game. but we're always learning, always adapting.

defi summer (feels like a wet dream now 😅). i was leading telegram communities. the scammer playbook: 1. copy my handle + pfp 2. lurk in chats 3. target new/less tech-savvy members 4. DM pretending to be me 5. "verify wallet" / "urgent team matter" 6. drain funds

@MayaPar25 @durov completely agree. we tracked one Telegram community - 1,918 scam attempts in a single month, 64 per day on average. most hit during off-hours when admins are asleep. manual moderation can't scale to this anymore. but there are tools to fight these scams & spam.

@durov The amount of scammers and spam on Telegram is exhausting too.

You’d have to be braindead to believe WhatsApp is secure in 2026. When we analyzed how WhatsApp implemented its “encryption”, we found multiple attack vectors.

@mfckr_eth Way too common. We've seen Telegram groups get 60+ scam/porn attempts per day during off-hours. Manual moderation can't keep up with waves of bots posting instantly. Have you tried auto-delete rules for new members + link restrictions? Buys some breathing room at least.

You open a Telegram group as a Nigerian or even whatsapp for your small legal business Then you spend a copius amount of time watching , deleting, banning other Nigerians for posting ridiculous amount of porn and scam links. 😡

@NATIXNetwork @Valeo_Group Amazing achievement! Congrats @AlirezaGhods2 & the team

World Foundation Models (WFM) are the future of Physical AI, and we believe this future should be open-sourced. We are partnering with @Valeo_Group to build one of the largest open-source, multi-camera WFMs — redefining how Physical AI interacts with the real world.

@collonybot LFG!

We're partnering with Hive Group to bring collony to Web3 communities across APAC 🤝 Hive has helped 25+ projects scale across Japan, South Korea, and Southeast Asia. Now their clients can access AI moderation that covers nights, weekends, and multilingual communities 🤖

Every Web3 CM I talk to has the same pain: "Team impersonators drain wallets while we sleep. Sophisticated scams hit on weekends. We can't be everywhere." That's exactly what we built collony to solve. Really excited to get this in more hands 🫡

@tibo_maker building collony.ai – above 1k MRR, several projects are waiting for Discord integration which will instantly double our MRR

$200 MRR sounds small but it means strangers pay you every month that's harder than most people think if you're doing more than $200 MRR, drop your product below 👇 i'll pick a few and share what I'd change to unlock the next phase

@levelsio @WHOOP Maybe not as relevant for women, but for men the biceps strap solves the problem. I’ve been using it for 9 months, it's discreet, and I barely even feel it

I think next for @WHOOP is to make their hardware smaller and smaller so it can be attached into other fashion items like clothes and jewelry My gf thinks the WHOOP is very ugly, even with the leather band and the gold Better would be to have the hardware slide into existing jewelry, like in the back of a nice golden watch for women Maybe do partnerships with fashion/jewelry brands Jewelry with a function actually makes sense cause jewelry is form and tracking is function and right now jewelry is quite useless except for aesthetics
