About Digi, here in Portugal it’s a bit iffy. Sometimes calls don’t arrive, mobile data doesn’t work in the subway, along with some other nitpicks, but it’s definitely gotten better since I started using it. I get unlimited data for fairly cheap which is cool.

It’s not like I need to be connected to the internet at all times, so my biggest peeve is definitely the fact that for some ungodly reason whenever I stop getting mobile data I need to fully reboot my phone to get it back again. Turning mobile data on and off, or setting airplane mode on and off doesn’t work for some reason.

But something to take into account is that (and this is purely anecdotal) coincidentally the moment I started using digi, I started getting spam calls en masse, specifically from Iberdrola. Most of the time once a day, but at some point it reached multiple times a day. I never answered, but would search the number online and see that it was spam. Though it could very much have been a coincidence, it still makes digi feel a bit sus to me. Rarely do I ever use it without a vpn.

…but how should I interpret your passive aggressiveness if I should interpret your use of punctuation as no more than an effort to communicate clearly?

Why the fuck do I need to verify whether I’m an adult

In my comment I said:

I could understand this comment in the context of the app

And the whole reason why I commented was because I’d misunderstood your comment. I’d thought it was separate from the post itself, since you hadn’t made it clear that the purpose of your comment was to say something like: “So despite the consequences it might have to the men featured in the app, it should still exist due to the benefit that it would bring to women”. Without that, to me, it really just looked like you’d read the stories from the men and thought “women have it worse”.

Since I’m now inside the discussion, I’m gonna give you my two cents.

I think that most people here weren’t really mad at the app due to its purpose. They were mad because it’s far from a perfect solution. Regardless of how much protection the app has, at these issues will exist:

• Leaks can happen
• Women can lie
• Men can infiltrate the app

Not to mention that, in this case, the creator was a man and the information protection was laughably bad.

In the future, apps like this one might become a must for women’s self-protection, but that doesn’t mean that the app’s issues will just cease existing. Pointing them out along with personal experiences to back them up, and then weighing in the pros and cons is always going to be very important.

Might’ve made myself a bit unclear, here’s a tl;dr

I thought you’d meant

This bad situation happened to me

Women have it worse

But what I’ve realized what you’d meant is

This bad situation happened to me

But that doesn’t mean that the app shouldn’t exist

And to finish, sorry that that happened to you. I hope you and the people you talked about stay safe.

I don’t want you to take me badly, but to me this comment sounded really demeaning. Obviously women have it way worse than men, but you see a comment with a men venting about their personal experiences and the first thing that comes to mind is “women have it worse”?

I could understand this comment in the context of the app, and how people are making fun of it when its purpose is to try to solve such a common and awful problem in dating–but in the context of the comments of men venting here, it really just sounds like you’re invalidating their experiences just because they’re not women.
