People frame things in the weirdest way. Mozilla are very up front about the telemetry they take and it can be turned off. Also, it's worth noting, it's not removed, they just migrated over to Glean.

The ability to run on multiple devices. Me, my family and friends all have multiple Android devices.

Scroll down to other devices and tell me what it says please

As for the rest, you're being dishonest with those ticks. I don't understand what the benefit is.

Not sure what you meant by stories integrated as first class citizens. Signal does have stories, though.

Not tabs.

In summary, signal fits your criteria quite well, only missing out on full material you support, stickers, and animated emojis. I may be missing an app, but I believe that this is the best you will get without going for telegram.

Literally fails at the first hurdle and then the third and fourth, but somehow fits my criteria?

Keeps getting worse for United.

Does Canada even produce cars? Who do such tariffs even pretend to help?

Why not signal? It fits your criteria...

Okay, I'll bite. Tell me how it fits my criteria, using the bullet point list provided.

It reminds me of how Mozilla was hemorrhaging contributors but kept trying to stick to IRC. I'm definitely not saying don't support the legacy contributors, but be aware of what modern demographics want to use and why, because if you're not moving forward, you're being left behind.

And thank y'all for the clarification, I'll be sure to get them right in future posts. Forgive my earlier ignorance. I didn't mean to disrespect y'all.

Because I would like to be able to start a conversation on my phone and finish it on my tablet

Ah, seems SimpleX isn't the potential messenger I was hoping for.

What do you mean cross platform apps are bullshit?

You'll be pained to find a world-class app that's written on a cross platform base. They tend to miss the intricacies of native design conventions and tend to be sluggish.

We don't think more and more messaging apps solves anything really, it just fractures userbases more and more. The best thing folks can do is use the apps that are the most likely for folks to use and work on improving them either by coding for them, or keeping on suggesting and voting for ideas until they get implimented.

I was actually part of the discussions for Signal implementing stories and the same type of people who were saying they didn't see the point in adding stories and wanted an option to turn them off, also were vocal enough to get them put in a tab. It's like the vocal minorities on Reddit that want small phones and think front facing cameras are a waste of time. They get in the way of real progress. What my 18 year old cousin wants from a messenger app is very different to what you or even I want, but the key to growth is definitely developing with the 18 year old in mind.

Sorry, just noticed your pronouns in your username. How do I use them properly? Do I replace you with cele and your with celes?

Neither as first class citizens. Stories are in a tab and stickers are on a third party unofficial website.

 

This guy! 😮‍💨
