I'm getting ready to lose the SIM. Find me and GROUPME. #groupme

#GroupMe is such a magnificent web app...

#Microsoft #MicroSlop #Vibe #Fail

Well, #GroupMe just shit their own bed by making it impossible to run on a smallscreen browser, like a phone. And, no I won't load their tracking app. Add this to the many reasons that I prefer the #fediverse

Apparently #microsoft does not like #librewolf or at least #groupme does not like #librewolf

Groupme no longer allows me to log in from librewolf. All I get is a spinning dialog. This used to work.

Still works in #firefox. Makes me wonder what personal data firefox is feeding #microslop

Man, #GroupMe is a truly terrible web app.

And I won't go near the mobile app. All kinds of crazy analytics up in that bench.

University of Alabama: Ticket Scams Are Kicking Off — Don’t Get Played. “Individuals posing as UA students are joining GroupMe chats, creating new groups, or using platforms like Snapchat to advertise fake student football tickets. Some even claim to be part of ‘safe and reliable’ groups — but these claims are false.”

A rainy Saturday afternoon, so I spent a few hours of decent attention for a GroupMe alternative. Jami is too involved for me, and the "swarm" is still limited to 9 people. But Matrix^1 and the Element^2 application made for an easy transition out of GroupMe. Everyone from their 70s to their 20s seems to be getting along with with a private room. It seems more fun for everybody...

…Anyway, in summary, US smartphone users are weird, messaging is a more complex market than most people think, I don’t really blame Apple for not taking it multi platform, and at least from my perspective when I was at GroupMe, I sincerely thanked them for it because it gave us the opportunity to be what they weren’t interested in being.
