Is having an Android really a deal-breaker for some people? - Lemmy.world

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.

If you take sides in something as fucking inane as “Windows vs. Mac” or “iPhone vs. Android” to the point of hurting your supposed friends, that’s not a human thing. That’s an asshole thing. Don’t be an asshole. Or stop claiming to be a friend. (Or a human, for that matter.)

The only ‘vs.’ argument that is proper to argue about is Emacs vs. Vim. (The correct side in that debate is 无.)
