There’s a toggle to turn off iMessage, and the phone asks you when you set it up if you want to use iMessage or not.

SMS doesn’t support encryption, nor is Apple preventing you from downloading any number of encrypted chat apps that work cross platform.
If google didn’t release a new chat app every 6 months we might have a more widespread standard in the US already - and yes RCS is coming to the iPhone next year.

Nothing has really changed though, you could already delete comments to make the comment section look however you want.

Going to get downvoted for this, but it’s a private platform where free speech laws don’t apply.
- Comment on Twitch to shut down in Korea over 'prohibitively expensive' network fees 11 months ago:
It’s as simple as this:
If my ISP charges me for X connection speed, I should be able to use what I paid for. Bandwidth caps make no sense, “internet” is not a resource that has to be generated.
What happened in the pandemic was the first real test displaying very clearly that ISPs are overselling/overprovisioning their network, and hoping we don’t notice that they haven’t actually used the money to upgrade or improve their network.
- Comment on Twitch to shut down in Korea over 'prohibitively expensive' network fees 11 months ago:
This is a bad take, and the antithesis of net neutrality.
If the customer pays for a connection, the ISP should be able to provide that. Why does it matter if it’s Twitch or Netflix traffic vs anything else?

Or just let us download the actual game/movie/song like the good old days.
- Comment on Firefox now supports clean URLs with the new "Copy link without site tracking" option 11 months ago:
So click the regular copy button instead?
- Comment on Sunbird shuts down its iMessage app for Android 'for now' amid 'security concerns' 11 months ago:
Just to note, the issue with Dolphin was that they had copyrighted decryption keys in their source code, which is why they were pulled from Steam.
- Comment on YouTube's ‘War’ on Adblockers Shows How Google Controls the Internet 1 year ago:
Very much agreed. The entitlement is crazy.
Google doesn’t owe you anything, video hosting is extremely expensive. There’s a reason no competitor exists.
How dare they charge to deliver you a service?

Imagine paying $1000 for a computer you don’t fully own.

OP is probably referring to allowing side loading.
- Comment on The iPhone 13 mini is dead, leaving small phone lovers in a lurch 1 year ago:
Wut?
You’ve been able to download files since like iOS 5. You’re just being obtuse at this point.
- Comment on iPhone 15's USB-C Port Remains Limited to Lightning Speeds 1 year ago:
Did you even read my comment?
Several NON-M1 iPads have USB 3.1. Even the iPad mini on the A15 supports usb 3.1.
- Comment on iPhone 15's USB-C Port Remains Limited to Lightning Speeds 1 year ago:
Except several (non M1 iPads) have USB 3.1 already….
- Comment on Any chance to have a separated "PORN" tag to avoid blocking all kind of NSFW posts? 1 year ago:
Ha, great reply
Nothing against your instance, just wish I could hide it from my “all” feed without hiding all NSFW content.
- Comment on Any chance to have a separated "PORN" tag to avoid blocking all kind of NSFW posts? 1 year ago:
For real, if I could block lemmynsfw that would remove 90% of the porn from my feed.
I swear I blocked every community on there but more keep showing up…
- Comment on [META] So... about the bots 1 year ago:
Noticed this as well, I keep seeing the same topics and articles posted 4-6 times within a day or so. Getting annoying.
