What are you talking about? Where did they say that? How does capitalism ruin a non-profit organization? It makes absolute sense for them to have removed SMS. Here’s their statement about the removal: https://www.signal.org/blog/sms-removal-android/

Yeah, I'm basically in this boat. My OS is what brings my notifications together, and makes clear distinctions between the different apps I utilize. I don’t need one app to do everything. I use signal for sensitive business, having conversations about projects and sending credentials to coworkers. I use Teams for general work conversations. I use iMessage for nearly all other casual conversations - of those maybe 30% are SMS.

This right here. Pisses me off so much. I would be much happier to see an ad that’s up front and lets you know it’s an ad (different tile BG color, etc). I’d be much less inclined to even use third party apps if the ads weren’t so damned deceptive.

Bloody hell

Edit: Reminds of the pimp my ride meme. “We made you an OS so you can VM your VM inside a VM!”

Yeah, I know. Some of those terms come from Mastodon (the Twitter alt). In Mastodon, you can boost posts (tweets) which is akin to a retweet (without quoting). And a Favorite is similar to liking a tweet, although Mastodon makes it so that you can see all your favorites in a list, which is nice.

How those operations function on a Lemmy instance, I have no idea. From what I remember Kbin was supposed to blend these together so you could use your one Kbin account to check out Lemmy communities and Mastodon posts in one spot?

The whole magazine thing, yeah, just not needed in my opinion - call it communities.

I’ve found that if I goto my sub list and tap again on the pending community it stops trying, then I tap subscribe again and it goes through.

Funny, my timeline refreshes too much

OMG I love Mastodon and my instance (mas.to). Left Twitter for Mas about 8 months ago - I love following hashtags even more than people. There’s some great gems to follow though. For both Twitter, and now Reddit, I left for Fedi and just never went back. Facebook was another cold turkey quitting, no alternative for that one, that was years ago now.

Nope, I should’ve caught that, thank you. I was like wow I’m in tech but you learn new terms every day. Lol
