alt Hacker NewsiMessage renders other iMessage users as blue bubbles, SMS/RCS as green bubbles.
People who can’t understand that many people actually prefer iOS use this green/blue thing to explain the otherwise incomprehensible (to them) phenomenon of high iOS market share. “Nobody really likes iOS, they just get bullied at school if they don’t use it”.
It’s just “wake up sheeple” dressed up in fake morality.

It wouldn't be an issue if they didn't pick the worst green on earth. "Which green would you like for the carrier text messages Mr. Jobs?" ... "#00FF00 will be fine."
As someone who switches between platforms somewhat frequently, iOS perpetually feels like people have Stockholm syndrome.
'Oh, that super annoying issue? Yeah, it's been there for years. We just don't do that.'
Fundamentally though, browsing the web on iOS, even with a custom "browser" with adblocking, feels like going back in time 15 years.
