“Let’s onboard the general public to #Nostr after we onboard them to installing and running GrapheneOS on their phones.”
Ok sure. That’s a worthy cause. But in the meantime, pushing back against bad policies on Apple devices is worth the fight.
Discussion
Or we could simply stop using Apple. Think about uncensorable progressive web apps hosted onchain using inscriptions. Centralized app stores are not needed.
I would never tell anyone in the general public to run a custom ROM 🤣
Android is open. You can install any APK from anywhere. You don't need a custom ROM to do that.
Yes it was hyperbole. But even that, most people are not going to install something that’s not from the play store. And most people are not going to switch OS simply for one app. It seems contradictory to hear people advocate for openness and choice, but then say it shouldn’t be advocated for on Apple devices. 🤷♂️
I understand your point but I've been having this argument with Apple users for 13 years now. Apple doesn't change for anyone. They don't need to change until people speak with their wallets.
Is the public at large going to continue using Apple devices? Do those people deserve access to Nostr and Lightning apps? If the answer to those questions is “yes” then turning this into an Android evangelistic tent meeting is pointless and missing the bigger picture.
The only way to change Apple is to hurt their sales numbers. Everything else is just noise for them as they laugh all the way to the bank.
Besides, the people that need bitcoin and nostr most in the world use cheap Android devices. This argument is very first world.
The first world deserves Nostr and bitcoin too. Even on Apple. Please stop this pointless debate.
And if the first world wants to use it, they can with plenty of options out there. No one is forcing you to use Apple. I don't understand why you're defending a company that clearly hates freedom.
Android also has an open source app store, don't need to go fully GrapheneOS
We need to not normalize and pay money for using closed source phones that require permission for every app
Apple pure shitcoin stop buying it then maybe they'll change!

💯
Some will push back, others will leave. Both move us forward.
That will onboard ~ 87 people globally.
Drama in GrapheneOS too
