    Y’know how Discord is an application that only does one website?

    So basically what websites on mobile are pushing for by trying to force users to download their stupid apps.

      Yeah pretty much. Two major differences: not motivated by surveillance, and not pushed when you try using a normal website. There are no websites.

      You’d also be running multiple services at once, the way people will leave a torrent client, IM client, and IRC client open. Or at least idle in the system tray. Not sure if the constant sound effects are more or less of a vortex antipattern than persistent notifications.
