What kind of mentality is this? Don't we all want the Fediverse to grow and succeed? Don't you want more apps for the Fediverse to spur adoption? And what is so wrong with it being exclusive to iOS? What do you say about Android exclusive apps then? Fuck them too? Aight listen, I'm a GrapheneOS user. I have been on Android exclusively for the last decades and I'm so sick of this attitude. You Android elitists are so utterly anhedonic. You tire me out. Grow the f up up and let people enjoy what they want geez.
The other great thing about the Fediverse is that people have options, and they can explore those options without affecting you
If someone wants to use Mastodon on an Apple device, then great. If someone wants an algorithm when viewing content, then great.
We aren't locked into one thing anymore
Social media is like capitalism. If your way is the infinite grow, you end with entshitification for both. You need to have a limit where you balance quality and quantity.
It's why the steep learning curve isn't as bad as people like to say. It's the limit to keep the quality high enough. If you have a lot of new player making it easy to join, you change the equilibrium and entshitification begins.
But, fediverse is in some case protected. If the new player has its how instance, the others can defederate. It's what is already happening.
I'm part of a minority and I use Mastodon on a dedicated instance. We defederate of some very specific instances to keep our safe space and keep entshitification away.
Welcome to the Android good and Apple bad argument.
You seem angry.
The EU is (finally) coming for Apple‘s ass. So Sideloading might finally become a thing on iOS.
Until then we have Signulous to sign our apps for Sideloading. There are also other options but those require a PC nearby so up to three apps can be signed for 7 days at a time.
Also tell me how Apple and Apple users have ruined Android. I‘ve been using Android phones since Android 2.1 and switched to an iPhone recently solely because my company gifted me an iPhone 14 Pro Max. And through all those years i didn‘t notice Apple or Apple users ruining Android.
Apple and Apple users have also ruined Android. I'm done pretending to be okay with people financially supporting such a fucking horrific and influential company.
You do know android is from google right? I know you do, but it’s makes you missing your own point entirely.
