Comment on Senator Warren calls out Apple for shutting down Beeper's 'iMessage to Android' solution

Your primary contribution to this conversation is to bitch about how no one engages with you? I see users responding to you but then all you are responding back with is editing your comment to say “thanks for answering”? Idk man… maybe it’s your approach to dialogue. Being super dismissive and retaliatory tends to bring downvotes.

I had asked the same question and was downvoted to -10 before I deleted it and reposted it.

  Oh I see. Didn’t realize you’d already deleted it. Anyway, best of luck; I think you bring up valid complaints but idk why the vitriol. This crowd is much less annoying than what’s found in some similar forums. Don’t let the downvotes bother you too much.

    It’s not so much me being upset at fake internet points than it is at me being upset that I’ve been seeing how this place has changed since I joined, and it’s super easy for a place like this to become an echo chamber, especially when people are just asking questions. Genuine discussion is drowned out by people treating the vote system like Facebook likes
    
    I wanted out of reddit long before the fiasco, and whenni got here it was way different than it’s starting to become

    Very much with you on that stance. However, this “bubble battle” is very much an echo chamber scenario, regardless where it’s discussed.
    
    Heck, let me just ask you directly: why does Apple maintain such a divisive stance on the subject?
    
    I haven’t gotten much (on several forums) regarding that question, more than “they choose too”.

  It’s an issue I’ve been seeing ~~in this community growing~~ on the internet for a while now, so yeah I’m gonna bitch when this place starts turning into ~~reddit~~ the internet.
  
  There, fixed.
  
  It’s the internet, grow some thicker skin, or figure out how to interface with your fellow netizens differently.

    Imagine if most people had this shitty attitude. Nothing would ever change.

    Mmhmm. 40+ years of online communities and nobody has figured it out at scale yet? Maybe because there will always be assholes.
    
    It’s less resource intensive to tolerate a certain amount of assholery, rather than rule with an iron fist to the detriment of everyone else (false positives, reporting-system abuse, etc).
    
    That’s where my suggestion above comes from, a realist perspective. Go ahead and ask the mods here how difficult it is to effect the “change” you’ve invoked.
