Comment on Apple Banned an App That Simply Archived Videos of ICE Abuses
artyom@piefed.social 3 weeks agoHow much “feedback” do you think it will take to make them contradict the vindictive sitting President? Apple doesn’t care about what you think about this because it’s not for you.
You know what you can do? Stop giving them money. Write them an email from your iCloud account, then delete said account. Cancel any subscriptions (this seemed to be effective against Disney).
The fed gov holds too much power. You have to show them that Americans, collectively, have more power to affect their bottom line than the Pres, and (most importantly) are willing to exercise it.

Apple fans are not that type of person, though. They’re better than everyone else, and so is their owning entity! They can do no wrong, this app was obviously guilty of doxxing cops …

The only people worse than Apple fans, are Apple haters.
Because I see a lot of vocal Apple haters on Lemmy, just shitting all over Apple users, but I rarely see Apple users here shitting on Android or anything else.

Apple is the trend setter. The avant garde. If Apple does it, soon everyone will be doing it. If you see Apple doing something shitty, you need to nip that in the bud right quick.

I don’t disagree.
But my comment was a direct response to the user ranting about their superiority to, and hatred of, anyone who uses Apple products.

I use a iPhone, my mom and dad (may he rest in peace) were already using them and wanted to use the family features on them to keep my brother and me safe. I didn’t choose to be in the ecosystem, I was just placed in it.
I also just have no reason to talk shit on android users because I know many of them are like me. Just placed into the ecosystem by parents, since their parents used them. Also just who really gives that much of a fuck? It’s a phone, it’s a laptop or earbuds or whatever. Largely things that people just need in the modern world, and it’s easy to stick with what you know and what’s easy to use.

Well, we give a fuck because modern society has required us to need a device that fundamentally destroys any real resistance. Naturally people are gonna be frustrated

Here come the devil’s advocates, good lord that is something I don’t miss from Reddit.
Wake up call! Apple doesn’t need you defending it. It is okay to shit on them. This isn’t about fairness so please take you tired schtick somewhere else.
MotoAsh@piefed.social 3 weeks ago
lol you’re just plain wrong on that. Apple fans these days are like you: They make fun of everyone outside of their group instead of the products themselves, because you all understand you won’t ever be winning an objective argument.
quackerjo@lemmy.wtf 3 weeks ago
What argument…?
Out of nowhere, you just started talking shit about Apple users to make yourself feel superior about your specific consumer choices, really cool bro.
Really unclear at who I was making fun of, unless consider pointing out how absurd your Apple hate is, to be making fun of you.
But that’s not making fun of you, it’s pointing out how pathetic your unprompted and vocal hatred for Apple users was.
Lfrith@lemmy.ca 3 weeks ago
They kind of got that rep though for defending things people saw as anti consumer such as soldered ram, limited, storage, and blocking installation of non Apple apps. Always going Apple knows best and its for security.
Not exactly the group known for demanding more, but ones who are mor3 complacent.
I’m an Apple owner too with MacMini and iPad so these criticisms of Apple users isn’t coming from a no Apple products hater.

Well I was going to pretend not to be a pessimist but realistically, no group of people is “that type of person”, which is why we’re all so helpless. People are addicted to their favorite platforms and there’s nothing you or the platforms can do to make them leave.

Microsoft might prove that one wrong if they keep enshittifying Windows.
