It's official. After 3 months of back and forth, a major medical provider has elected to drop me as a patient for not having a Google or Apple device.

It is unclear if this is legal, but it is very clearly discriminatory and unethical.

Any tech journalists or lawyers interested in this?

I would like to do anything I can to ensure this never happens to anyone else.

@dantheclamman so it winds up I just had to like re-load the feed. I don’t know how Memmy was affected otherwise. Devs saying all is well.
@christianselig what’s your next project gonna be? The fediverse needs you.
@dantheclamman Can confirm that the Memmy App is showing NOTHING when logged into Lemmy dot world. Desktop page shows posts but they seem many hours old.

A year ago if you told me that Instagram would be joining the fediverse, I'd think your crazy.

Let's not forget why they are doing this though, thanks to EU laws they have to make data portable, and with federation support they can portray their monopolistic practices in a different light.

Meta is an advertising company, we are their next market to break into. Remember this.
