Nobody told me Signal was this good? All the features I want from Telegram are there. I thought it was still that crummy replacement SMS app

@Siph what's really holding it back for me is that it's missing a proper desktop app

@noiob the windows desktop client works well for me

@Siph it's not a proper desktop app if it just syncs data to the phone app, is it? I wouldn't mind too much if I didn't have to reauthenticate every time I try to use it

@noiob Idk I just closed and reopened it and I didn’t have to log in again

@Siph that's not what I meant, I don't use it that often

@noiob ah I see. I’ll see over time if it feels janky to me or not

@Siph lmao I just reinstalled it cuz I didn't even use it since I "refreshed" Windows and it doesn't load any of my chats

@noiob oh yeah it told me when I logged in that it won’t sync conversations from before I installed it (I had none)

@Siph well, it sucks. Would be more convenient to screenshare my phone instead

@Siph like I'd love to use Signal more (esp over Whatsapp where I only have one groupchat left) but it's just not happening for now
