I have a Telegram bot and I save all user activity in a log file. When I checked the log file, I found a user with a negative chat ID -107606558. Is this normal?

If the chat is a group, the chat id is negative. If it is a single person, then positive.

I second the call for references - I doubt that my bot has been used in only 10 groups but by 670+ unique users. However, I couldn't create a counterexample group. – lucidbrot Sep 09 '18 at 15:17
