Opinion: Beeper isn't just fighting Apple, it's pushing against human instincts.

    I don’t understand why android users want iMessage.

      Because in this society, being a green bubble can lead to social exclusion.

        That’s a Society, more to the point, an US Society problem. I’ve never heard of such vanity before.

          Yeah, is that truly the reason people are giving? Because that’s genuinely insane. I live in the US and I’ve never heard or even considered that.

            There was a study iirc that found that people are more likely to swipe left on dating apps if you have an Android. Thankfully, I don’t think most people are like this, but enough are for it to be a problem.

            I don’t care though, people who think like that are not worth my time anyway.

              I’ve never seen a dating app that changes the appearance of a profile based on their OS
