Be the product or the caged golden goose. We sure have a choice, but I personally don't see one that much better than the other.

When Tim Cook testifies that Apple is entitled to all our digital transactions, I don't think they have a better moral stance.

Completely agree with you.

Neither is better than the other yet it's becoming more and more difficult to find people that understand the flaws of both.

I don't understand tho how something like apple can do so well in the USA, land of freedom and individual rights, when they are basically locking people into their system and telling them what they can and what they can't do.

Not being able to install whatever app you want on your phone should be a big red flag for freedom advocate. That's literally the reason why hongkong citizens massively ditched apple a few years ago when there was protestation and apple, following CCP order, banned the apps they used to organize themselves.

Yet it seems like a non issue in usa ??

There are a ton of other options than FB at this point. Partiful is my personal favorite, and has way better features than Apple Invites has after testing.

Partiful is great! A little funky around the edges, but I keep giving them feedback hoping to be able to rely on a non-shitty indie platform for invites.
