Why is stuff like that included not included in every plan by default? As a European, I can’t even imagine paying extra for that. If I want to hotspot my data, my operator can kiss my ass and simply allow it, I’m paying for the data anyway.

I’ll have to keep that in mind, thanks for that. I honestly had no considered some BS like that happening.
For anyone out there, I recommend giving Tidal a shot and for podcasts, I recommend a FOSS app called AntennaPod. This is the combo I use myself, I’ve been using Tidal for a bit over two years now and just recently switched to AntennaPod.
I’m having the opposite going on, post upvote swipe is still blue but comment is now orange like I set it.
In Finland, the closest equivalent to this is some D list celebrity (so like someone who was in Big Brother or something) performing the ceremony on a cruise to Sweden. There is no direct equivalent however.
It’s the same with messengers, if your friends arent there how useful is that foss messenger really?
This is so difficult. How many people would be willing to switch to Signal or Wickr for one friend? And then what if none of their friends don’t want to switch? And then the friends of those people, etc. Trying to switch workgroups, family, friends and all of their friends as well is a lost cause, it would never happen.
Some people on here will never realize that only paid devs putting in full days will make a platform like Lemmy grow to even a fourth of what Reddit is right now. Part time, unpaid devs will never grow this platform to that size and one way or another, those devs will want to be able to support themselves and that is either through donations or somekind of monetization, which may or may not include monetizing user data. It’s just honest facts that it costs money to run servers and that money has to come from somewhere. It takes time to develop an app and in the case of Sync (probably Boost as well) it’s just one dev and that takes a lot of his time. Nobody would do that amount of work for free.
According to the Boost dev in this thread, its literally required by Google to say that. So I am guessing that any social media app has to say that.
I’ve not been able to stop using Reddit because quite simply, some subs never migrated and they are major subs for me, such as /r/hockey. I’ve been using it less for sure and I’ve used Lemmy more, especially with Sync now available, but only time will tell.
This is how I feel about Bluesky. It’s so good, but really needs more people.
They marketed iMessage so well, while the rest of the world adopted apps like WhatsApp, Line or Telegram. In part because of iMessage, they never really adopted any of those at the same rate. I damn glad that’s not a thing in Europe, I’d lose it if I had to use an iPhone. Good phones all right, but I’m just so used to the little tweaks of Android.
Anyone who thinks about this idea for more than 30 seconds decides it is a really bad idea
That’s because of all the problems your idea would cause. Identity theft would run rampant, stalking would become easier than ever before, tracking people down would just be one search, etc. I mean you truly did bring up an unpopular opinion, I’ll give you that.
I might buy a flip foldable in the future (so either the Samsung flip or the Motorola RAZR) because I like the idea of using my phone less if I can do at least some things on the outside screen + I like the idea of propping the phone up on itself for videos and photos. I really don’t need a book type foldable, but the clamshell just has something to it… In the future.
I might shell out the money for ad free at some point, but right now I’m not confident that Lemmy will be relevant in a year. That said, the app is fantastic and I made it look exactly like the Reddit version of the app. It’s just such a good app, I love it.
It’s beautiful, its the sync I know and love. It’s so damn beautiful.
