Telegram is just actually superior in terms of features I don't get it.

We don't choose which app we use. Our friends, family, and colleagues do.

I could live with Signal's functionality, but there barely anybody there.

If you live in the EU, somewhere around in 2024, you will be able to use something like Signal to communicate with others that are on WhatsApp. So you don't have to use WhatsApp at all to communicate with other WhatsApp users.

Wait, what? I do live in the EU. I'll look this up tomorrow.

I've been looking for a messaging client that includes multiple services for ever. It's still a dream of mine

Have a look at Beeper. It's promising.

Everyone I know uses signal, even our neighborhood group messaging is a signal group.

Then again my neighbors are all reasonable people.
