Yeah, no idea. I’ve never even thought about it because no one cares about all that in India (at least usually).

Is travelling to another country with pirated movies an issue?

Damn, that’s a hot take lmao. Also a shit one imo but eh who cares about my opinion.

I’m curious enough to try it. I’ll ditch it if the first two episodes are terrible, and continue watching if it’s either good or fun-bad.

Oh. I haven’t used it much today so I guess I can’t know.

Huh, hot never seems to show me old posts. It’s not something that should be app specific, right?

Yeah, I know. Almost all other countries do though. I just don’t appreciate the fact that Android and iOS are not equal when it comes to messaging in US. It almost makes me think I’d have to buy an iPhone alongside my Android to have a good experience there. And that’s just dumb. But tbh I’m not thrilled about moving to US anyway and will hopefully never face that issue unless I go there for a master’s degree lol

What? It’s absolutely enormous in many countries, don’t be delusional. It’s by far the most used messaging app in India, and it’s not even slightly close. From different posts I’ve seen over the years, it seems like a lot of other countries use WhatsApp as their primary messaging app as well. I personally prefer Telegram’s features, but it’s not much of a choice here because everyone just uses WhatsApp.

That’s fair. I’ll be honest when I say that I’m ok with sacrificing some privacy for convenience. Many people on this platform wouldn’t agree with that. Not using WhatsApp in my country basically isn’t an option unless you just want to be a loner that doesn’t contact anyone, and I’m not the type to call people all the time.

The thing is the interaction between Apple and Android phones is shit through SMS, and that’s entirely Apple’s fault. I’m pretty sure everyone would be more happy using an app that works for everyone. If you take India for example, almost everyone uses WhatsApp. There’s just straight up no concept of not having WhatsApp. It works the same for both operating systems. So the myth that it’ll be difficult to unite with one app isn’t really true. I don’t like Meta any more than the next person, but the messages are end to end encrypted and lets iPhones and Androids communicate as equals. I’ll definitely take that over one group having a superior experience and the other having a subpar one. I doubt you can really refute that, as there isn’t really another solution due to Apple’s pigheadedness. Sure, you could use Signal to not use a Meta app. But SMS with an uncooperative giant company isn’t the way.

Not only that. There are plenty of iphones, but America is the one that uses SMS. Most countries use other apps, such as WhatsApp, Telegram and maybe stuff like Facebook Messenger (I mostly use WhatsApp and Telegram). I’ve never texted anyone using SMS except just to see if it works lol. But people in America primarily use SMS.

Laughs in most countries

Thank you!

Ahhh, nice!

I need context lol, who’s Poppincream?

I have hope for Sync, it was such a great Reddit app. Right now I’m using wefwef, which is interesting because I’ve never used an iPhone before.

I don’t even look for news on Reddit, so it was completely unproductive for me lol. So I’m not exactly missing anything other than my fix of cat pictures and videos.

Ahh ok in the settings of the website of the instance? Would be great if there was an option in the apps themselves, but I’m guessing there’s a reason it’s not like that?

I still haven’t dared to use the official app lol. Boost hasn’t died yet so I’ll still look at it here and there until it’s gone, but I’m really hoping Lemmy succeeds (although I’m unfortunately not expecting much, since it’s not the easiest for the average user to get into).

Where do you turn off NSFW? I checked the box to allow it when creating my account. Where can I turn it off now?
