You know with Android, you can just sideload any app you want. Still not sure why anyone buys Apple products, but hey at least you get different colored chat bubbles!

on IOS we can do that as well with trollstore and signalous/maplesign

huginn ,

Aka if you void your warranty and crack your phone OS - something that Apple fights at every turn. If you run your phone in unsafe and unfriendly ways then you can do something Android supports natively by default.

See! They're totally the same guys! Buy iPhones 🤡

Luvon ,

🙄 sideloading alt store at least does not void your warranty.

Software in general won’t void your hardware warranty. That’s ridiculous.

B0rax ,

Those work on untouched iPhones. But you need to resign the apps every 7 days. (Which can be done automatically via the programs that person mentions)

@Stillhart yea, you can, but that means trusting the third party providing the apk. Besides that, China also has a big power over the internet. They could outright block the apps from working altogether only by cutting the connection. Especially with Threads and WhatsApp where you cannot choose any proxy within the app.

In fact, I think they already did it.

I wonder if self hosted fediverse stuff could gain a bit of traction 🤷

@TheMonkeyLord in China you mean? Well, if CCP would find a way to control it, then yes.
