Wait, dark mode was a paid feature???

[–] [email protected] 9 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Gatekeeping dark mode behind a paywall is so anti-consumer, it's not even funny.

Unity3D did it for years. So dumb

Not on iOS. Strange. And scummy. And fitting.

I didn't even know people were still using Snapchat

Literally what most people I want to talk to wish I used.

So "Follow System" is now premium?

I would have deleted it long ago but I would lose contact with so many people, including a few good friends

If they're good friends, they can download a competent messenger

I like Snapchat, it encourages video communications really well. Of course many other platforms have video, but the fact that by default, there's not going to be a saved log of you being dumb on video really gets people to engage. I know it's possible to save snaps and other platforms have a 'delete after' option for video. But Snapchat just makes it so easy to send a dumb snap to a friend and really inconvenient for them to share it with someone you don't want.

I'd love to get rid of snapchat but it's my best friend's favourite method of communication. Same for discord. And whatsapp for my family.

Just tried it and it worked

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

Also confirmed.
