For what it's worth, being a IG copy isn't a bad thing. If they're trying to get the IG crowd over, best to give the users something familiar to keep them using pixelfed. Having other apps is a nice feature for those like us who want it

Not that I use it often, But Pixelix on F-Droid has dark mode, and I do prefer it's appearance compared to the official Pixelfed app or PixelDroid, that is just personal preference though

👏RAIN👏X👏

genuinely an amazing product, don't even need wipers in the rain if you have it applied. And last a decently long time. Will advise though don't use the window washer additive for newer cars, can cause the sensor to always think it is empty

Likely just a "Are you 16 or older?" Check mark and that is it. Any site willing to show ✨ The Internet ✨ in all its glory really don't care enough to actually require anything more, also doubt they'll enforce any site over seas, probably a few headlines that they're sueing sites like IG, TikTok, etc but it'll be such and insignificant amount it'll just be another cost of operation to the companies.

Cool concept, but it is all just dicks, racism, misogyny, homophobia, and the "Cool S" symbol. Maybe today the internet wasn't beautiful

BYOD, as in Bring You Own Device, hence buying and importing phones that you wouldn't typically see on a Telstra plan.

Whether or not a device can actually support VoLTE unfortunately actually has very little to do with what is and isn't being blocked; even the industry itself doesn't know what 100% will and won't be affected, as there are devices that are told to be ready for post 3G shutdown, but in testing they are not emergency VoLTE ready, and so will not be able to make emergency calls after the shutdown, and no matter what you put on the phone, if the IMEI number isn't on a compatible registry, that phone will be blocked.

I do highly suggest reading the article, as it does go more into depth on everything (as well as the Change.org petition). I am "tech aware," to a degree; however, I am not at all well knowledged, just something I genuinely very much feel needs to be shared.

I'm late to all of this going on but now am very much impacted by it.

The end of the BYOD phones. Using a Xperia 1 V that is now to be near to useless when out, and I am only 1 of 250,000+ people who are gonna be pushed into buying phone directly from telco instead of actually picking phones that suite our interests and needs (as well as OS for those running anything that isn't adroid or iOS).

I've contacted Sony to see if they will comment on the matter, but it is a shame this has happened at all in the first place.

I would recommend anyone to read James Parkers full article on the matter:

I apologize If this isn't the right place to post this.

Not 100% sure if this is what OP was refuting to, but it is on F-Droid using the IzzyOnDroid repo.
