WTF?

Just more end of empire shit.

I can’t grow facial hair

As he is sucking down a soy latte.

I cannot imagine being blue pilled.

The main assertion in the article is:

It is a Guardian article. Not a trustworthy source, has a strong leftie bias and has been known to dox people in the past.

Therefore, why should I take the article accusations seriously?

Sigh. Your pro censorship and think those who are not are horrible. What a surprise.

Read my other comments in this thread to see why I can care less who it is. Weather it is an asshole or an angel.

Exactly, not based in reality.

I never used the app. However I know many tankies hate Andree Tate and Lemmy is full of tankies. I doubt a famous guy on the internet will start a scam app which will ruin his reputation. And seeing people get cancelled by tankies over snd over again with false accusations, I am sure the accusation of this app being a scam is false.

Even if the app is a complete scam and Andrew Tate made it to scam his fans, sadly tankes online have zero credibility for making that accusation. Why should I trust lefties (a cult following) that cancelled so many people over false accusations in the past?

Call me a fanboy if you want, I do not know much about the man. Even if Andrew Tate is a truly evil man, it is not my fault since the reputstion tankies have made when it comes to “he should be cancelled” is always due to absurb reasons and is fuelled with envy and hate.

If you do not like my answer to this, fine. I do not care and thats your problem since cancel culture brought me to this conclusion. And I am against censorship in general which is known to piss off many tankies.

I stop reading after that since those are made up words.

My two cents is that censorship is bad. Not many on lemmy get it since they see censorship as a weapon to use against their opponents. However censorship usually always gets out of control over time and that is why I oppose it.

Android is the way to go since Android is censorship resistant to app store bannings by allowing APK sideloads and alternative app stores to Google Play.

Show me an app that does that?

Sigh

I am criticizing the closed garden iOS ecosystem. This has nothing to do with Andrew Tate except the fact his app was censored for being “contraversal”.

The app was taken down because it had Andrew Tate’s name on it, lets not kid ourselves.

Even if you were correct on why the app was taken down due to “it will cause violence”, minus well ban all social media apps and messanging apps.

If the app was banned due to it being a scam (which is not the case), that is reasonable to protect users, but still sucks since even if the app was banned with the excuse of it being a scam, iOS users are SOL since there is no alternative way to really install apps on iOS.

An app won’t kill anyone on its own. Just like how guns don’t kill people, people kill people.

I mean, sure, I will almost always die on this hill - but for something that [Insert excuse here]

Now, if it was like an app that [Insert app that I like], sure.

Really bro? Lets say you liked Jimmy. Jimmy was a contraversal guy and Jimmy had the Jimmy app on the App Store. Then Apple took down the Jimmy app since they do not like Jimmy, Jimmy is too contraversal, Jimmy triggers too many people online.

You either die on this hill of being against censorship or you don’t.

You do not have to like or support Andrew Tate to be against his app being taken off the App Store.

How is censorship good news? Yeah this is all about Andrew Tate, but that is not the point. The point is that censorship is bad and censorship can occur on centralized app stores were it is done for “politicial” reasons.

I don’t care if you think Andrew Tate is evil, it is the action of banning an app because “we do not like you”. That is the problem and Apple users have no choice since they are in a walled garden.

The reason why you should not have an iPhone. It is a walled garden and Apple is the ministry of truth in this walled garden.

Dart/Flutter allows for compiling native apps and allows for better device access.

I would not recommend react-native. I would recommened Tauri instead but Tauri does not compile apps for Android and iOS currently but has this on its roadmap.

True, I am all for Flutter and Tauri. However websites are better for sevices since it is not likely the company will release a fully open source app or APIs for developers to build apps for the service. There are many web clients out there that are open source and allow for a good private web experience.

And even if a company does release a FOSS app, it is hard to get the company to release the app on alternative app stores like F-Droid.

Also I do not want a million apps on my phone taking up space, that could be running in the background and harvesting my data. Websites or PWA are like one-time apps you load in the browser, use and the close to discard, especially when you use your browser private mode.
