    Why can’t we have simple messaging app built for privacy, with good call and video options? Maybe a few emojis would be cool as well.

        You can even use stories in signal, though I turned it off in settings and have forgotten since launch that it exists until this post reminded me.

      Telegram started that way but as they became so big, the process of Enshittification has now begin. It happens to all tech platforms that become too big.

      Here is how platforms die: First, they are good to their users; then they abuse their users to make things better for their business customers; finally, they abuse those business customers to claw back all the value for themselves. Then, they die.
