The most notable explanation I can point to is that Apple’s iMessage, below the hood, functions a lot like WhatsApp or Signal, being an IP Texting/instant messaging service, and offering various advanced features that regular SMS and MMS do not support. To some this is important, and they may think less of Android users as a result of this.
It als does not help that for one, Apple does not want to publish iMessage to the Google Play store, and for two, that there is no general advanced messaging standard in widespread use, that is being enforced as the mandatory standard unless absolutely not available at both ends by phone carriers and/or governments. If there was, the technical side of this would not be a problem.
Given the prevalence of US defaultism, I don’t mind the lack of a US-specific one. Plus, unless an instance, or even community, is regionally specific, chances are Americans are going to assume it to be American. Even if that subreddit specifically claims to be worldwide, it may still be dominated in excess by Americans, like the politics @ lemmy.ml community.
If people would like a translation:
A bastardisation which pulls “klere”/“kolere” - cholera - into “godverdomme” - god damn me. Definitely profane
Literally: speak Dutch. Not profane, though if someone does say it to you unprovoked, they’re probably racist.
you cancer-mongol. Mongol in Dutch mostly is an insult to people who have Down Syndrome, not people from Mongolia. Definitely profane.
At least you guys over on Lemmy.ml won’t be dealing with that shit. I hope Lemmy.world will defed soon.
It’s a Free, Open-Source instant messaging app, the likes of Telegram and WhatsApp, which offers encrypted messaging and most functionality that WhatsApp also offers. It failed to take off as well as we’d hoped since most people resort to iMessage or WhatsApp instead, both owned and controlled by Apple and Zuck respectively.
Porn? What porn? If I intend to… do research, I return to reddit (since old reddit does not stop me from going to… research subs) and in all my time on lemmy.world, I have yet to see a single titty being shoved onto my front page.
