Getting off iOS is hard as a normie (lemmy.sdf.org)

submitted 1 year ago by [email protected] to c/[email protected]

Things like the cool new lemmy apps and the fold phones like the Galaxy Z Flip make me really want to change but it's tough.

Any so much of a mention of leaving iOS for android around my normie friends or family leads to weirdly aggressive responses. They want to by able to react my messages and rename the group chats in their normie iMessage. They want to be able to stalk me with their normie Find My Friends app. They react like taking that away from them is basically stabbing them in the back. It's like I just told a hardcore Trump supporter that Biden is #1 to their face. Normies are brainwashed.

It feels like I'm trying to leave a cult. It's like I'm trying to leave the Mormon religion. It's like I'm trying to get off drugs when everyone I know uses.

I just want you techies to know I'm jealous of your freedom. Maybe one of these days I can get clean.

Just a side note, who the fuck uses normie outside of 4chan? Leave that shit over there

Normie is incredibly common online in general. It’s not just relegated to weird right wing sites either.

I’m in my mid 30s and even I gotta say… you sound a bit like “old man yells at cloud” with this take. Just chill out a little bit. You’re making the rest of us approaching-middle-agers look bad.

And if you’re somehow younger than me then I gotta say… actually, keep it up. Your apparent lack of being terminally-online (oh no, I used a recently coined term…) is definitely healthier than whatever the fuck the rest of us are doing.

It's just a cellphone. You'll live.

The only people I see that have iPhones are the ghetto people that have no job. I can spot one when they walk in the door to my store. They look like a combination of gangsta and homeless. I will comment to whoever I'm working with and bet that they will want to pay with their iPhone. I'm usually right, and half the time they're transaction is declined.
