      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

        Most of us come to the Fedi because we want choices. Something Apple is not fond of.

        What do you say about Android exclusive apps then?

        🥳

        Sorry iOS users can only enjoy whatever Apple says they can.

        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.

          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.

      Some people want some sort of suggestion system. I figure as long as it’s an opt-in choice, why not? Gives people what they want and makes the ecosystem more enticing. And at least it’s an algorithm that’s transparent rather than one controlled by a large corporation.
