It's kinda weird to see Telegram become enshittified. I guess I should've seen it coming because that's just the way it goes with our tech. I can't completely turn off the in app browser (even though it still pumps things through the default browser, it seems), a setting needs to be toggled away from the default so that Telegram respects Windows' DND, there's a paid subscription model, and I'm seeing more and more ads pop up in group chats and channels.

Pulling control away from the user and milking profits are telltale signs of what's to come, if my experience has taught me anything.

Now I wonder how long it'll take for furries to migrate over to Signal. We've all been through this process so many times and it never gets easier — group relocation is a pain in the ass.

An old teacher of mine once said to "never get married to your tech." The funny thing is, I'm not sure he even realized how accurate he was at the time. XD
