I asked if people chose iPhone for the blue bubbles elsewhere a couple days ago, and while there was some good discourse on that post, the blue bubbles definitely also came up as a reason.
In my experience, when people find out my texts are green, they oftentimes would rather switch to a different platform altogether like Instagram or just not text at all.
Is this actually a deal-breaker in friendships out there?
This is some sort of childish tech-classist B.S. Like you wouldn’t talk to a friend because of the shoes they wore or the car they drove. Who cares about people like that?
It’s not a tech-classist thing, it’s a human thing. At our core, we are tribal. We take sides. Android vs. iPhone. Windows vs. Mac. Linux vs. everyone. Sports team A vs. Sports team B. Republican vs. Democrat. Musk vs. Zuck. Cats vs. Dogs. Everything. We take sides on everything.
And those are all a “deal-breaker in friendships” for you? I think we all realize people find all sorts of reasons to use us-vs-them mindset, that’s not really the point of this conversation. What reasons you choose to make your friends or otherwise be decent to someone decides whether or not you’re being immature or even a bigot.
Musk vs. Zuck
Do I have to pick one.
