  • I would say Apple isn’t as severe as something like Meta or “X” but the amount of influence apple has over the industry is insane. There’s a reason why so many laptops are losing ports “because the MacBook has it” or why smartphones are stagnating and when they “innovate” they’re just removing more features like the SD card reader all simply because “Apple did it”. Hell, Windows has been trying to be like Mac OS for years from its flat minimal design to its oversimplification of its design to trying to make their own “eco system”. Apple’s influence can even extend beyond tech with their flat minimalist, corporate design being applied to every industry and building and design ever to be conceived in 2023. Everyone is trying to be Apple from Tech companies to fast food joints. Truly if we measure their influence and the power they carry moving entire industries to do various things. They are one of the most powerful company in silicon valley. Everything we hate about modern tech and how restrictive it is can be sourced all the way back to Apple.

    As much as they can be annoying sometimes, I’d rather they be here than not. We should be very careful with who we defederate and what or else it could really kill the momentum we have and the beauty of being able to communicate with other users. I rather enjoy when an instance respects my responsibility of me as a user on whether I see what content and how. It doesn’t matter if it its a mod or an algorithm. I want to see hexbear users whenever I see fit and not let someone else decides for me.
