Best thing about RCS is when random strangers text me, or friends friends, our conversations are E2EE because RCS isn't something you need to download.

Get better friends /s

but ya, the only person I text who is on iPhone is my "influencer" sister. Everyone else uses Android, and I can use RCS.

Yes, COVID is still killing and affecting people daily. Sorry you're ignorant.

I pay for everything but movies and TV shows. Last time I bought TV shows, the service went under and I lost it all. Seasons and seasons and seasons gone. It's not 1982, I shouldn't have to deal with freaking discs.

So the only reliable thing is my Emby server. One tap from playing it on any device in the house.

And I don't have a blu ray drive in my PC, my case doesn't even support one (again, is it 1982???) so buying and ripping my own discs is out of the picture.

Buying movies and TV shows gives you the worst experience and punishes you. Not to mention almost every damn show these days are cancelled, and I don't think I've seen a movie with a satisfactory ending in like a decade.

Yes, people are still needlessly dying from it daily.

I use RCS with all of my Android user friends. It's always been turned on by default for us.

Not sure what you mean not many Android users are using it?

I personally think the list will decrease. If Lemmy really takes off, i see a few instances sticking around.

Not everyone can afford to run a Lemmy instance with minimal donations, and I honestly see self hosters slowly thinning out.

I would imagine in the future Lemmy will be like 15 big instances, with like 5 of them hosting the vast majority of the users. Then drama will pop up, and they will all defederate, and we will have like 2 big instances.

I don't care about the open source part. Cool? Not sure why that matters or why you're focusing on it.

I'm just saying that using Infinity for Lemmy when you're not the original dev, without making it VERY CLEAR you're not the original dev, is scummy.

So many people think this is the original dev, and it's not.

I'm glad it took until other people called him out to talk about it. Should've never used it in the first place. Also it shouldn't take 2+ weeks to change the name. Shady behaviour.

Sync for Reddit and Sync for Lemmy are both by the same developer.

Boost for Reddit and Boost for Lemmy are both by the same developer.

Infinity for Reddit and Infinity for Lemmy are NOT by the same developer.

See the problem?
