The quality and superiority of those apps can be ranked without even going into technical/privacy details.
Telegram
WhatsApp
Signal
every emoji looks much better in signal, except the screaming one, there WhatsApp does it best.
... and the ones from Telegram are just ugly throughout.
Using an emoji lineup to pick what service is superior is the most pantshittingly stupid reasoning i have ever seen. Jesus fucking christ.
It's a messaging app where you message other people, including close family and friends. Emojis are one of the most used features. If the emojis look trash compared to the competition, that's one more barrier to entry for the average user. Me and you most probably don't care about that at all and prioritise other features way above emojis, but for other users it matters a ton.
Consider going back to reddit, I'm sure they miss your profound insights and friendly nature over there ๐
