I'm an admin of a group chat, a few months ago the public link stopped working. Now the link gives the message "username not found" but it shows up as taken if I try to use it.
The t.me link to the group showed up in an NFT marketplace as something telegram is going to sell in the future. Telegram took the t.me link without giving any notice, this is quite scummy behaviour and I think the link should be given back.
I've heard reports of the same thing happening to other groups as well.

* The group was following telegram's TOS
* The group was actively being used
* There was absolutely no notice about this, we just noticed new people weren't joining as often and realized the link was no longer working
