I just logged into Telegram today for the first time in months. I'm simply not on the platform very often. The fact of the matter is that I don't like how it shows everyone when I'm online. I can't handle too much interaction, and prefer to keep conversations to 1 or 2 at a time. As such, I just disabled notifications and only log in once in a blue moon. It's not a fast, effective, or reliable way to get through to me. I will still use it, but it will be periodical and inconsistent.

As an alternative, people who wish to talk to me can use Discord. As a disclaimer, I will be showing as offline roughly 99.9% of the time, but I'm on Discord far more often, meaning I will see and respond to messages in a much more timely manner. It likely won't be immediate, and I may not even respond as soon as I see the message (again, I can only tolerate so much human interaction) but the odds of messages going unnoticed for weeks to months is zero.

If you want to add me on Discord, my username is Albeon#9639.
