It gets my goat that people think it’s a good option. There are plenty of articles explaining some of the many issues with it, but a few are:

  1. It’s run by anti-LGBTQ+ crypto bros.
  2. It has ads right out of the box.
  3. It collected donations towards people who never signed up for them - then held them to ransom in exchange for the kind of information you should never share on the Internet.
  4. They’re a for-profit advertising company. “Privacy-centric” my elbow.

    which they post from thier iphone/macbook

    Same can be said for any phone though. Default OEM Android is a tracking nightmare

    We’re just okay with some things that people arent, and not okay with the thing some people are okay with.

    Saying Apple is shit while most people seeing this will just decide to stay on their Xiaomi or Samsung is so dumb. Sadly this world is plagued with subjectivity.

      I 100% agree. Apple was just an example. You could insert Microsoft, Google, Meta,…

      My point is CEO says bad things and is a bigot, isn’t as bad as the harm some of these other big entities are doing.
