    Of course, I would like to have the reliability of work
    comparable to Telegram services, but we must not forget
    that Fido is an amateur network and most of the nodes are
    located on home computers, the reliability of which is
    not comparable to the reliability of data centers.

    At least the conversations for TgM users will be unaffected
    with a downtime in FTN.

    The situation is not unlike a group of users feeding off one
    particular BBS while all the other BBSes in the network are
    offline. At least the users associate with the 1st BBS can
    keep communicating. In the TgM case, the users will have the
    reliability of a well supported data center.

    Strange. I don't recall seeing this message. And age is making the memory bad.

    Ahh, the joys of conversations going on. Then everyone playing catch-up when the break down is fixed.

    There is that.

    :) Try TgM's S)earch feature. It's awesome. Keyword "centers"
    is a good one to find the original message.
