Telegram is just actually superior in terms of features I don't get it.

The tone makes a huge difference.

OP tone is mainly confusion with an open question. They disclose their belief/understanding which they acknowledge either contradicts or puts into question the evident state of things they see.

I don't see how that's confrontational similar to the commenter dismissing their whole approach as a definite statement without points you could argue. It's a closed dismissal and in an insulting tone.

What makes you think they are similar? Or to what degree?

I don't know about you, but the tone of the original question come across very dismissively to me. OP isn't asking what they missed, why WhatsApp might be as good as Telegram. They've flat out declared the winner and are asking why nobody else is agreeing with them.

I can see your point, and agree with it for the most part. But they're still posting on Asklemmy implying it is a question or interest of reason. It also doesn't dismiss a person directly/specifically, nor is the tone insulting.

Seriously?

Telegram is just actually superior in terms of features I don't get it.

... Lol. Gotta read the room better buddy.

We're not even in the same ballpark in terms of tone.
