Gregory's Server@ehler To make an overly extreme simile, it's also very easy to just not buy and drink alcohol. The point of addictive behaviours is that you can't rely on user choice alone.

 @ehler The system way is opt-out, though, which seems insufficient, and there's no way around that. Apple are making it easier to access though which is great. |
@tootapp My first part of that is that the service determines addictive behavior more than the app. I think the behavior of 3rd-party apps in Twitter were good cases of this the last ~5 years.
But the real reason I bring it up is to point out the system builds in a way to disable this for every app, guaranteeing a choice to *not* have it, but without building it yourself, users can’t opt in *to* have it. I’m not dying for the feature myself.
