What a really nasty thing to say, I was genuinely offering advice to you on how to negotiate with people you should already be getting along with anyway.
I can assure *you* that my friends, not a "acquaintances", are much happier using Telegram than they were planning everything over a soup of Facebook Messenger and SMS. If I had it my way we would all be using IRC or Signal, but my compromises to ensure feature parity with iMessage was out of an understanding of what everyone desired, which was the core of what I was trying to get at here but I guess you missed that, not that I'm surprised considering your shitty attitude. In truth an insufferable person simply would not be capable of convincing 18 different people to switch to a new messaging app, no matter how badly they nagged them.
Many of my friends have actually thanked me for fixing the situation since it has greatly improved our ability to make plans and hang out together, which is a tricky thing to do in adult life where everyone is on different schedules. But sure I guess my desire to improve how me and my friends communicate makes me selfish huh?
