just so your chat bubbles can be blue, you massive hypocrites. Ha!

I'm constantly blown away at the number of people who think issue is actually about bubble colors...

It is. You can get all the privacy and features you want on a dozen of other services.

[-] helenslunch@feddit.nl 0 points 8 months ago

😂 no, it isn't.

You can get it on hundreds of other services if the people you talk to also use those other services.

The problem is that they don't because Apple does not allow you to use any other service with SMS fallback.

yeah, that’s how they work

boo hoo. that doesn’t entitle you to use someone else’s private property however you like without their permission. it’s baffling how you don’t comprehend that.

I don’t personally care that beeper was doing its thing— I just don’t think anyone has a right to complain for getting banned from the service for violating the TOS. like… you knew what you were doing. it’s ridiculous to think that was ok or that you were entitled to do that. when I pirate a film or tv show, I don’t think I’m entitled to it.

I think you're confused. We were discussing bubble colors, not property rights.

[-] gregorum@lemm.ee 1 points 8 months ago

then why were you crying about SMS?

[-] helenslunch@feddit.nl 0 points 8 months ago

Once again, you're confused.

[-] gregorum@lemm.ee 1 points 8 months ago

you’re projecting. you can’t even explain what you’re talking about anymore, lol.

[-] helenslunch@feddit.nl 0 points 8 months ago

I can't explain what I wasn't talking about.

[-] gregorum@lemm.ee 1 points 8 months ago

lol, and you accuse me of being confused? lmao

[-] helenslunch@feddit.nl 0 points 8 months ago

You are confused. roflcopter

[-] gregorum@lemm.ee 2 points 8 months ago

I’m not the one who can’t even explain what they’re discussing. lol

[-] helenslunch@feddit.nl 0 points 8 months ago

Explain why you think the sky is brown.

[-] gregorum@lemm.ee 2 points 8 months ago
