Trainer Dan (npub1vaq…pd34): I agree with you and I can on the other hand understand L (npub1cpa…xxpk) why saying this here on nostr:
It's a uncomfortable reality that Telegram has gained so much momentum when WhatsApp was the only mainstream Messenger to be used by the borad public. Telegram was at the right time available with smooth onboarding and outstanding features in a lot of use cases.
A lot of people, me included, traded the shitty WhatsApp metadata surveillance and experience with migrating friends and family to Telegram, because is was the only viable option to even make the hardcore Whatsapper willing to move to another messenger at all.
Signal was nerdy at that time (think back how they managed Group joining processes at that time for example) and nothing else for large group and channel management with a decent peer to peer communication was available at that time imo.
Now the softened Whats App crowd people are sticking with the still but more and more obvious broken Telegram platform.
Imo we need to build another experience for normie users to say heart-fully yes to trying another messenger AGAIN (after they have tried maybe 3 or 4 and are stressed out about fragmentation of their communication and still bound to legacy channels like email).
Or in other words: Make an argument for "the medium is the message (as well)".
