An option to share moments (media, like photos or short videos, texts, etc.) with your mutual contacts (this can be adapted with granular privacy permissions) to view, interact, and forward. Such statuses are temporary and should disappear after 24 hours.

Stories can exist for users and groups/channels

I am not a supporter for telegram stories for the same reason @dotvhs mentioned in the first comment. Stories gives users a fear of missing out and it's nothing more than a marketing gimmick. If you really want a stories like feature then just make a channel with a userbot that deletes posts after they're old. Part of the problem with having stories in the way you want is it forces all contacts/users you're associated with to have this permanent UI element showing all the stories you post. You basically want a free audience just by having mutual contacts instead of making content that is engaging and people would actually want to view. I left Facebook because I was tired of seeing everyone's lives always so great and feeling like I never had anything good to post, I left a lot of platforms for the same reason. It drives depression and vacuums up my time where I could be doing other things. I don't need to know that you went to a birthday party on Sunday night, if I really cared I would get involved in the birthday party myself.

I like to think of status as a bulletin board. The only thing is, the status would have to stay there for a week or so.

You're missing my point, I dislike the idea of stories simply because of
the psychological harm it causes. Not every social media platform needs
to have a new rendition of the "automatically delete this message in x
time" like the other platforms do, if you want those features then go to
those platforms.

Not everyone has the know how to build a user bot or any bot for that matter, besides, bots are not Telegram's, this may pose a privacy risk. At least something beyond the average user's reach.
I think something that may appeal to people demanding stories is around the corner. Theres just too much demand for it to be ignored. We all remember Telegram's stand on chat folders before they were implemented.

As I have posted earlier, this was my "bulletin board" idea:

To make Telegram's status/story unique or have more features than status on other apps, Telegram could add some features like:

-You could make an optional theme, so the status would sort of be like an electronic bulletin board. You could optionally have a title, a color theme, and maybe a section or two (depending on your status/story/electronic bulletin board content).
-Another way to make the status unique and more like a bulletin board could be this: your status doesn’t autodelete after just 24 hours. That's too fast for a bulletin board. I'd say the bulletin board would auto-delete after two weeks or so. Maybe a month. But I think we should be able to save our work or have an option that Telegram autosaves after your bulletin is cleared.
-Another feature regarding the bulleting board could include: Maybe we could start making drafts for our next bulletin board in advance.
-And yet another feature: group chats could have an electronic bulletin board, which is by the admin to all members of the chat group, or by the host to everybody including admin, or by everybody for everybody, or by everybody for all contacts of all members of the chat group. Just imagine the private status as the bulletin board in your bedroom and the group status as the bulletin board on the wall of the lounge at school, at work, or anywhere!

All these features would together make Telegram’s status vary unique and different. Telegram could even call it something else too! Maybe Telegram could call it the “Electronic Bulletin Board”. So, there. If some of you think Telegram shouldn’t have status because it’s too much like Messenger, they don’t have to call it “Status”. Think again!

ok so add auto-deletion to channels. My biggest problem is that stories in the current discussion means forcing people to have something that makes them look at your stories. For example, on SnapChat there are UI elements which show that a story is posted and you have no way to turn that off. I do not think this should be an opt-out system but rather an opt-in system if it's even made at all.

There's less than a 20% difference between upvotes and downvotes. That's not significantly more support. It's pretty clear this suggestion is controversial.
