Phew, was definitely worth of trouble to wipe all the IM GUI crap and take time to setup
#bitlbee with gateways for Signal, Telegram etc.
Be it separate GUI apps or within a browser tabs they constantly shift context from what you are doing and getting back in phase takes always 15-20 minutes something time.
Now I just open the tmux session when I have the time and have all the messages nicely in their own queries. You also get all the nice logging features and thus have text files of discussions that you grep later and find important bits (I do have some work related stuff going on e.g. in Signal groups). I regret that I did not do this already years ago.
