MODERATORS
I use Telegram for the random chatter but it's getting bloated ever since they added premium features. I understand they have to make money, but some features like stories can't be disabled at all, and they're selling group names with crypto. Matrix is looking a lot better moving forward.
Especially that their clients are becoming usable even without limiting yourself in how many rooms have you joined.
That's worrying. Hopefully the FOSS fork will add a toggle for it, or a new fork will appear
