This person wanted to create an alternate community because the Telegram channel was such crap.

There's a huge amount of drama over there because hypfer came in and tried to poison everybody against him.

> I have only 3 relevant interests here:

> Spreading information about offline IoT, because this is the journey on which using Valetudo has put me

> Providing a safe space where anyone can discuss ANYTHING about Valetudo, without fear or retribution

> Provide help with Valetudo to anyone, including people who don't want to create a TG account, and especially people who were banned from TG

I've kind of gone down the rabbit hole on this whole thing this morning and after a lot of reading my conclusion is that the leader of this project thinks that they are communicating far more clearly than they are. But trying to use an analogy of a private garden when it's clear that they just don't want to field questions from people is not the way to communicate.

Here's another relevant example. Somebody that did a huge amount of work and then asked a technical question that reflected that they had done the work and was banned with no comment.

> With all of that prerequisite searching out of the way, I decided to create a Telegram account to join the support chat and ask there whether or not splitting the "Mop Dock Wastewater Tank not installed or full" error into two distinct errors has already been investigated, and to express this as a feature request if it hasn't. I included justification for why I think it might be a feasible task, since there are three vendor error codes in DreameValetudoRobot.js mapped to that error and it stands to reason that maybe they could be split out with some basic testing.

> The next notification I saw from Telegram was: Valetudo: Hypfer !pban 1y
