As long as I can use Telegram with open source third party apps I give a shit about their bullshit.

What 3rd party app would you recommend to use telegram? I'm getting really annoyed by the stories thing at the top.

I'm a nekogram user but also heard a lot of good things about forkgram

Thanks for the heads up! Already installed Nekogram and uninstalled the default app. No stories bs anymore.

Life's good again! 🤓

do they remove stories and other bloat?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

To be honest, I didn't know about this nonsense before that post. So no, atleast Nekogram focuses on being a messenger.

I'm using TelegramFOSS right off F-droid and until I read this thread I didn't even know there was a stories feature
