The more updates come to #Telegram, the worse it gets, now with #AI! Let me remind you of the #alternatives: see where I'm on at gianmarco.gg/contact. They might not be perfect, but they're the only way out of this hellscape for now.
Also, I'm starting to work with some friends on an alternative #chat of our own, trying to avoid the shortcomings of existing #FOSS messengers (but we're still in early stages of development, so I can't guarantee anything.)
