  It’s in the “to be blocked” list posted.

    I guess that centralized server thing is working out real well then. /s

      Mastodon is also blocked, I don’t think they cared if services are centralized.

        Do you think they will be blocking every single Mastodon server in existence?

  signal has stories now, so I’d say yes

    Bah, more reason to avoid Signal. For private communications I want an antisocial network, not the opposite.

      I think it’s a silly feature for a messaging app, but it has no impact on me if I ignore the feature.

        It does say something about the mindset of the vendor, which is a legit reason to decide not to use an app. From what I can tell, Teslas are pretty good cars despite some issues here and there. But Elon’s antics are enough to make me decide not to buy one.

      It’s completely removable with one setting. No nags or anti-patterns or design holes.
      If it stops a few from sticking with whatsapp because signal lacks that “feature”, I’d say it’s worth it.

      You can remove ot from your view and then you forget it is even a thing

  Depends on how you want to look at it. They have “stories” which could most certainly be considered that.
