The vast majority of the Android/iOS flamewar is pro Android on fedi (mostly Mastodon for me). I usually don’t bother but I thought my comment was at least sort of funny? oh well.

It was funny! These people act like THEIR way is the ONLY way. Not all of us want our phones to be mobile computers with full feature sets. I just want a simple device that has a very nice ecosystem where everything connects and works together 98% of the time. Apple sucks too, who would’ve thought.

You guys are too funny. 🤣

truly I must bow to your superior intellect. iphones have so many more features, like not being able to sideload apps, use a terminal or actual filesystem, or install browsers that aren’t reskins of safari, or use apps that would totally work on my device because Steve jobs thought they looked wrong. oh, and strawman arguments about what android was like 10 years ago.

Oh my gosh! All of those would be super helpful if I actually cared to use them! I don’t need my phone to be a mobile computer. That’s why I have a desktop!
I sideload apps like YouTube that has sponsor block and it also blocks ads, just so I can airplay it to my television. That’s all I need.
Some of us just like a simple device. I don’t need the rest of that. My god dude, it was a fucking joke because androids have always had these weird ass permission requests.
I hate Apple as much as the next guy, but I like the ecosystem. That’s all I need for my use case.
Get a grip, and relax. Take a fucking joke. The way you’re reacting is EXACTLY why I made the god damn joke in the first place. 🤯
