That sounds like a great way to avoid people I won't like. If someone will judge me because of the things I own or don't own, I don't want to associate with them either.

In fact, I think this is a fantastic reason to avoid iPhones. I'm super excited about the Librem 5[1], and I'll be extra happy to be even that less desirable to these types of people.

It’s a very crude method. But it’s also very effective. We just bought a house and have been doing a lot of work on it. So I post a lot of stuff on Craigslist for free. Lots of green bubbles (Android users) respond. They are the flakiest fucking people I have ever dealt with. We’re talking comical levels of flakiness. Shit that belongs in a sitcom. Blue bubble people, on the other hand, respond quickly and show up when they say they will.
