So what is it?

This repository is not a code project. It is a Russian-language README describing Funstat, also called Fanstat, an external Telegram bot for looking up a person's public activity across Telegram, including group memberships, message history in public chats, and other information that is already visible in open channels and groups. According to the README, the bot lets someone search by a Telegram username, ID, or link, and returns a summary of where that account has been publicly active, which groups it overlaps with, and other open-source information tied to it. The README describes this as an OSINT tool, meaning it is meant for gathering information from publicly available sources rather than hacking into private data. There is no source code in this repository. Using Funstat means opening the linked bot directly inside Telegram at funstat.one and interacting with it there, so this repository functions as a landing page and description rather than something you install or run yourself. Notably, the README includes its own legal and ethical disclaimer, stating that the tool is meant only for lawful use in line with Telegram's rules, and explicitly says it must not be used for stalking, doxxing, fraud, blackmail, spam, or other illegal activity, and that the user is responsible for how they use any information it returns. It also cautions that public overlaps between accounts do not necessarily prove a real connection between people, and recommends verifying any findings against original sources. The README also lists several intended use cases, including analyzing a Telegram audience for community management, moderating a group by checking overlaps between members, and general marketing research into what topics an audience discusses. No license is listed for this repository.
