Too many Mac apps are being built with Electron
Better comparison with WhatsApp instead of ancient text editor would be Telegram app [1] built with Swift and C/C++, given hypertext and rich media that is modern messaging app like Telegram, it is resembles more a subset of web browser functionality rather than text editor, so binaries for this around 235 MB in size.

What's going on with the Mac version repository?

An absolutely comedic video of the detention of the so-called "neo-Nazis" who, according to the propagandists who went crazy, were preparing an assassination attempt on Solovyov. The director has a few comments: ▪️For some reason, the entries in the notebook are in Russian. ▪️what about the disks
As a middle ground you can install the Unigram app. Which is an open source alternative to telegram.

It's third-party UWP app, but it's open-source and listed on official Telegram website, so it's safe.

Signal Desktop is corrupting its database
https://github.com/UnigramDev/Unigram
In addition, there’s a libpurple plugin should one feel want to use Telegram with Pidgin, as well as several other clients including one that’s TUI based.
