They also added stories which, despite what the internet might have you believe, was one of the most popular feature requests on the Signal message boards for many years

This was weird for me personally. I consider Signal a messaging tool which in my mind is separate from an actual social media app, so it was a bit of a head scratcher for me to see stories as a very popular feature request. I don't really care about sharing "stories" in that format to my contacts or seeing theirs, but then again that's just me.
