The shitty forced "stories" did me question seriously this once wonderful app. If I'd want to look at crappy TikTok-like shorts from other people, I'd be on TikTok.
-
I had the same worry when it happened to signal
-
Signal has stories as well?
-
Inexplicably, yes. It does
-
Hmm, should we add the ability to register from desktop easily? Nah, let's just add stories)
-
-
Yes, but the can be disabled, which I do automatically.
-
Yeah but you can trivially turn them off.

-
Once I saw the stories I was like ok wtf. How do I turn this off?
Maybe revanced manager can do it.
-
I'm using Nekogram, that at least allows to automatically hide (archive) them.

Forkgram

Seems to be doing the trick for me but the icon sucks and I had to rename it in the android UI cause it uses its package name for its display name lol. How's nekogram compare?
-
Yeah, the package/display name issue has been a bug for a while in Forkgram. Nekogram just works for me, nothing special apart from some custom options, such as hide stories.

Looks nice but https://github.com/nikitasius/Telegraher/issues/27
I fear that Telegram may ban user accounts...
