fuck telegram. I'll stop using it when anyone makes another messaging app that fucking works

don't tell me to use signal, I don't feel like losing all my signal messages for a third time

(someone should fork the clients and build a new backend. the clients are the part that works better and more correctly than every single other piece of messaging software except maybe iMessage. I don't want to have to use a pile of Electron-bazed garbage to talk to my friends and hope it decides to actually alert me that I've got messages)

like... I'll use signal if a friend is only on Signal. but mechanically we probably aren't going to talk much in part because it will take me days or weeks to remember to open the app and see that you've messaged me, because across two mobile and two desktop platforms it consistently fails to do the one thing a messenger app is supposed to do, which is tell me that someone has messaged me. whether it's by breaking the link between my phone and desktop for no reason, failing to give me notifications, or just forgetting all my shit, it doesn't matter. all three have happened. I trust its privacy but I do not trust its functionality.

I've also had similar functional problems with Matrix. the only conclusion I can draw is that nobody except fucking telegram has the ability to make a reliable messaging service with a native desktop client that has the functionality I would like to use to talk to my friends, or that nobody cares enough to do it properly
