Things like the cool new lemmy apps and the fold phones like the Galaxy Z Flip make me really want to change but it’s tough.
Any so much of a mention of leaving iOS for android around my normie friends or family leads to weirdly aggressive responses. They want to by able to react my messages and rename the group chats in their normie iMessage. They want to be able to stalk me with their normie Find My Friends app. They react like taking that away from them is basically stabbing them in the back. It’s like I just told a hardcore Trump supporter that Biden is #1 to their face. Normies are brainwashed.
It feels like I’m trying to leave a cult. It’s like I’m trying to leave the Mormon religion. It’s like I’m trying to get off drugs when everyone I know uses.
I just want you techies to know I’m jealous of your freedom. Maybe one of these days I can get clean.
I don’t understand posts like this, tbh. I live in the US where iOS is predominant, and never have I ever been made fun of or “shamed” for using Android devices outside of some occasional “hey iPhones are cool, you should get one. Android phones are kind of lame”. What is this bizarro world that people like OP are living in? Is it a teen thing?
Lol right? Apparently this person’s entire social circle judges each other based on… their cellphone? Wat
