i’ve been an android user for years now and have been using beeper for at least a couple of months. people have been asking for imessage on android for years now and i really don’t know what the issue is. i can understand apple being wary of beeper accessing the imessage server but if they would do it themselves then there wouldn’t be this issue

i would love this, perfect for goofing off at work

certainly the furry fandom has an issue with zoophiles but that’s no different to the anime fandom and pedos. predators of any kind need to know that they are not welcome in those spaces and i’ll say it as many times as i need to.

yeah, what about it? i’m a furry, not a zoophile, and they are not welcome in the furry community.

jesus. here’s hoping he goes away for a long time.

Yeah, we need to get to zero waste as quickly as possible.

they’re worse than straws imo, straws at least have a use for disabled people, children, and others who need them for independence.

so i dislike regular vapes because of the amount of children using them, but disposable vapes truly are the worst of the worst. they need to be banned asap

Genuinely I just found an invite code from Google. Once you’re in the app is pretty much as advertised.

personally i’m more comfortable with the UI and features of discord, plus i’m not too familiar with what the issues with privacy it has. could be that the mods here feel the same way, or that there would be a larger userbase on discord

god, i hate this shit. i have a lot of stuffed tied to my google accounts but i think i’m at least going to switch email apps.

certainly social media can be addictive, for myself i’ve almost always been able to take on tasks as they come up and not procrastinate but that’s just due to a hate of the feeling of having a task looming. that being said i know there’s times i’ve mindlessly watched tiktok for hours instead of engaging in more productive, meaningful forms of entertainment.

Oh yeah I use revanced so no worries for me. I tried NewPipe but the lack of accounts did annoy me

WUPHF!

i remember for a period of time it was really easy and completely free to get an .io url. i assume it’s something similar here.

why is it so expensive here specifically?? christ, i’m so mad about inflation

good. the only thing i’ll miss is the blog customization options.

there’s some good discussion going on at !mentalhealth@lemmy.world imo

i’m totally fine with brands and celebrities having their own social media tbh. i’m honestly quite glad threads has made it clear what their desired userbase is.

the best thing is for people like me who just used instagram to lurk it works really well with mastodon or calckey. just follow whoever you like and it’ll show up in your feed no problem
