This post sums up my feelings exactly. Signal is objectively ugly and has quite a lot of display bugs that there's really no excuse for in a messaging app. Telegram is (subjectively) beautiful - they really nailed the UI - and is by far the nicest to use of the three. WhatsApp is both hideous and horrible to use. I wish I could drag people away from it, but even having had my WhatsApp status set to "WhatsApp is spyware, message me on Telegram" for the past 3 years, not a single person has switched.
- screamingninja 6y ago> Signal is objectively ugly That's a weird thing to say. How is anything objectively ugly? It is a matter of opinion after all.
- drcongo 6y agoYou're right, I've come back 5 days later to correct myself. I've been using Signal a lot more in the last week and actually nearly all the things that I would say justified the use of the word "objectively" are now fixed. They were all bugs, rather than design choices - things like inconsistent padding, and a tiny unpadded input window when typing long messages. It's actually pretty nice now.
