Don't get me wrong, Telegram is jank in many ways (good luck with making an account with a VoIP number) but it's so funny how every FOSS advocate just seems to miss how Discord got big.

Discord got so big because you don't need to make an account to use it in many servers (or you didn't for the longest time) and then it'd rope you into using it, and you could use it in the browser.

Downloading 4000 things and self hosting is too much to ask for even the MCSA/MCSE cert having IT guy whose day job is giving coworkers the laptop provisioned with Windows Autopilot and making sure the darn thing works, let alone your furry friend online who wants to have the latest ErP Ready technology.
