Conversation

having an amazing progress on getting rid of #telegram 😄

managed to move 27 conversations from telegram to #signal (I think one conversation was moved to #threema 😄)

About half of the people already had signal. The other half I spent time explaining all the things that are wrong with telegram.

The fact that people listen to me and then make the move, shows me that my friends, especially the ones who are not into tech, trust and respect me. One of my friends was really impressed because she thought that all messengers are the same and just have different skins and buttons 😆😆😆

Only 1 friend left who has not (yet) downloaded #signal, but is going to 👌🏾

The family group was impossible to migrate. Apparently older people don't like change. Not really a surprise 😆 No idea how I'll handle that. Maybe my cousin will be a proxy or I'll have to use telegram every now and then (on desktop) to check the family group. OR I will just keep pestering every one when we meet IRL 😂 "We have to move to signal" and one of my uncles will be like "NO! I INSTALLED TELEGRAM BECAUSE LAST TIME YOU SAID WE HAVE TO LEAVE WHATSAPP. I WILL NOT DO THIS AGAIN" 😆😆😆😆😆

Other than that I have a handful of telegram bots. Most of them I have written myself. Nothing crazy though, almost all of them just wrap some APIs.

Since I've started to use #matrix since April, I'm now thinking about turning my telegram-bots into matrix-bots. I think it could be a fun project and would make telegram even more obsolete 😄
