No billionaire shenanigans to get in the way of having a truly open-sourced phone.

Nice! Every community we can get onto the fediverse, and off of reddit, is a victory.

Didn't know there was a Linux phone community. Subscribed!

Welcome to the community ;)

Thanks! I'm looking forward to the future of mobile computing without having to sign your soul to either Google, Apple or China

That's great! It's still a bit disappointing that so many people decided to stay on Reddit, though. They made a big protest just for everything to go back to normal.
-
That said, it does concern me when I recognize troll accounts posting dumb shit. Of course, I imagine it'd be easy for such a thing to be done in tandem across the whole of social media. Still troubling in our humble corner of the internet.

Well there's ways to fight against them.
Check their pfp.
Check account age
Request for a baby/sapling icon beside their name on Lemmy as a feature or as an extension.

If is the only reason I use lemmy. Although accessing it is nearly not as easy as typing a reddit url, I just bookmarked it. It would be great to access Lemmy in a newsletter or even a usenet fashion.

To be fair, Reddit makes it infuriating to browse Reddit on mobile using anything but their app, and a Linux phone isn't going to have the app. Lemmy is an easy solution to that problem, and it's FOSS.

Ya, that's why I like using the voyager website on the morph browser. Lemmy and the Linux phone are made for each other.

I didn’t know that and then it would make me happy to know that Lemmy is beating Reddit at something, but I still think we’re far away from having open source phones we could use every day in every situation.
Lemmy definitely beats reddit at several things: it is more left, more queer, more nerdy, and even more obsessed with reddit.
Yep i would even go as far as to say lemmy has the better piracy sub too.
Don't forget the pretty ui. I have a crush on Alexandrite.
Yeah clearly I had noticed that you’re not really allowed to be in favor of everything left (which is really different in every country) or queer.
I’m not in favor if homophobia or racism, but I’d also want everyone to be able to reasonably express an opinion without being completely destroyed..
Edit: I wanted to say not allowed to not be in favor..
They work for people whose priority is freedom and that are GNU/Linux experts. So I don't think it's productive to make general statements like that. If there is something that sucks (like battery life), you should say what it is exactly.
I don’t really know because I don’t have a Linux phone yet, but apparently banking apps would be a problem on these phones when they aren’t on my Linux computer. It’s just an example, but an important one for me. But I’m clearly just dipping my toes in the Linux phone world so I’m not an expert.
