while I enjoy reading your style of 'conduct' I still have problems with agreeing as, reduced to the core/bare meaning, all you say is "alternatives are useless--period". I deem it easily deductible from your writing you're smart enough not to actually believe this but if you take away your neat and fancy wording this is what remains.

I do not 'root' for Telegram; Whatsapp compatibility is the ultimate goal everyone reading this finally want's to get, I dare to state. But if this isn't an option for technical and/or other reasons, (intermediately/temporarily) switching to Telegram would indeed be better than nothing at all.
