I switched instances just so I could be on one that had downvotes because I passionately believe downvotes give immediate power to of self moderation to the users. However, I’m very light on downvoting. I only downvotevote stuff like the OP was talking about or if something is technically incorrect and damaging to a thread. But again I’m very light on downvoting, as I was on Reddit before. I usually ignore something that I simply don’t agree with or think is too silly, etc.

It is what it is, mí hijo

I’m off to my cabin in the woods

All this talk about “well, the UX”, “if the servers can”, “but the big companies”, bla, bla, bla. I’m here right now. There is nothing else as far as I’m concerned. Twitter and Reddit are dead to me and I absolutely love Mastodon and Lemmy. I quit Facebook many years ago and never found an alternative for that, outside of starting a shared photo group on iOS with my family.

You better start believing in fediverse alternatives…you’re in one.

no reason

I mean, you can see at least one reason I’m sure

{shocked Pikachu face}

and a list of contacts, they’ve improved since

I’m confused. Are you saying they still store contacts but with better encryption or that they no longer store contact information?

What are you talking about? Where did they say that? How does capitalism ruin a non-profit organization? It makes absolute sense for them to have removed SMS. Here’s their statement about the removal: https://www.signal.org/blog/sms-removal-android/

Yeah, I’m basically in this boat. My OS is what brings my notifications together, and makes clear distinctions between the different apps I utilize. I don’t need one app to do everything. I use signal for sensitive business, having conversations about projects and sending credentials to coworkers. I use Teams for general work conversations. I use iMessage for nearly all other casual conversations - of those maybe 30% are SMS.

Bloody hell

Edit: Reminds of the pimp my ride meme. “We made you an OS so you can VM your VM inside a VM!”

One of us, one of us…

This is exactly what they said they wouldn’t do!!

Sir, this is a Wendy’s

I copy, I paste. That is all.

Lol, what?
