until google completely locks down android i think androids still gonna be popular with someone
i say until because theyre totally gonna find a way to, theyre probably just waiting until they have an opportunity to since google pretty much envies apple above all else

so THATS the original ive seen so many edits of this before lol
unless this is also an edit that just feels like it could be the original

ok so the main hope here as a non google messages user is that this forces google to actually open up rcs more
because the fact that on android its de facto completely controlled by google (yes, i know its an open standard, thats why apple can do it separately, but you can still functionally monopolize an open standard) really sucks
like man i just want apis for rcs in aosp finally is that too much to ask for :(

what are ypu looking at me like that for

anonymity for me but not for thee

yeah real name or not people are gonna be horrible to each other if they want to already
anonymity will deffo make it more desirable to for the ones who are on the edge tho

But beyond that, the group isn't sure what's keeping Americans off their feet.

certainly it cant be all the obvious things that keep them off their feet

i basically have to pirate since that web drm stuff all the streaming sites use doesnt like my ancient laptop and im too broke to get a new one lol

im not a cisphobe i just think they should stay out of sports and not push their propaganda on my children i dont want my children growing up c*sgender

pretty much spot on, search is still pretty bad on fedi (on the twittery side and the reddity side)
although it is still not hard to invade someones privacy the old fashioned way by, for instance, making alt accounts to evade blocks but thats nothing unique thats all platforms

direct messages arent really private on any platform but on the fediverse they especially arent
not only can your admin read your messages if they really want to (like non federated sites) but also you have to consider the other instances admins too
i think thats why lemmy has a profile field for a matrix username by default because thats at least a more private way to do dms

theyre going to eventually get lights brighter than the sun
