I hope to see free open source, non-big tech Linux OS for phones one day.

I wish phones were more like regular computers where you just buy a phone and then decide which OS you install. Or at least be able to change the OS.

That was a fun read. Loved the sarcasm.

I dont trust anything that isn’t fully decentralized. Bluesky is very weird in that regard, its partially centralised. I guess it’s better than Twitter (but that is setting the bar very low). I still refrain from using it too often.

It will almost certainly have ads in the future and will inevitably go down the path of reddit, twitter and Facebook so I prefer to use something that is completely out of reach of the CEO if something goes to shit.

Good lord, the amount of idiots that white knighted me for using uBlock.

“WOULD U WORK FOR FREEEEE???”

Like fuck off no I wouldn’t. I also dont buy up every other company I see, turn it to shit and then try to force a political agenda through it, and guess who IS doing that using billions of dollars? Yep, Google.

They’ve been X tier for a while now. A lot of people have been (shadow)banned just for having opinions that don’t fit reddits narrative. Also better not disagree with any mods since that’s basically an instaban.

It’s sad since I was on reddit since the beginning. First Imgur turned completely to shit and now Reddit has become a dystopian hellhole. I just couldn’t deal with all the shitty practises and enshittification it went through. Also all the subs I liked were filled with bots and reposts ad nauseum.

Honestly I like lemmy way better BECAUSE it has less shitty people on it. Way more meaningful discussion and less shitty one liner “LOL LOOK AT ME IM FUNNY” dumbass comments.

You’d think people would want something different like a non proprietary OS that spies on your every daily aspect of your life seeing the recent tensions in the word.

But nah let’s all keep using Facebook, MS, Google and act all surprised pikachu face when 1984 finally happens.

I’ve been wanting a phone with alternate OS for ages now but it simply isn’t there. Guess ill just have to stick to grapheneos for now.

If blackberry manages to come back without using android I might consider them. It its just going to be another shitty android phone with a blackberry skin on it then I’ll pass. Probably a fat chance anyway since no one will buy a phone that doesn’t have android or iOS.

I’m using the voyager app and the experience is almost 1:1 with reddit if that maybe helps you.

And yet people post on that shithole with so many great alternatives that aren’t owned by one person or centralised.

People are so ignorant of it too. Last time I mentioned lemmy as an alternative somewhere on discord I got nearly banned.

It always amazes me people keep on using centralised platforms like reddit.

Sure lemmy isn’t perfect but at least if one instance goes crazy you can always switch.

Yeah, it’s kinda sad but that will probably happen.

Well basically the same things that makes other Europeans mad at the USA. USA has proven to be unreliable in about everything (climate, trade, stability, economics).

Honestly the only positive is that the EU is finally stepping up and getting rid of our dependance on the US.

Same here. Dutch and don’t want to use any american closed source crap anymore. Dutch people are pretty angry of the US right now.
