What is Shieldy?
Shieldy — is a solution in Telegram to fight annoying spammers. It asks newcomers to execute a set action within a set period, otherwise, it kicks them. It’s this easy. Make sure @shieldy_bot is an admin at your chat and it’s all done! You can also further set up the behavior with the convenient hotkeys.
