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.
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.
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.
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.
That’s certainly true, there is a definite mob mentality surrounding certain topics.
However, I had reasonable success having actual discourse on controversial topics by presenting proper arguments, sticking strictly with a respectful and calm tone, and of course having some scientific links to reference for certain positions.
Yeah me too but sometimes I’m scared of not being able to say anything against the general opinion on Lemmy.
Especially about LGBT topics where I can feel like it’s clearly not welcome even if you’re just expressing yourself calmly and in a peaceful way while trying to understand everyone’s opinion.
I was the idiot that made that happen. (◕‿◕) r/piracy entirely migrated off of Reddit, and instead of failing with an Aether migration, it was a success with Lemmy.
Well, maybe privacy too lol, because I ran r/privatelife to counter the Reddit privacy cabal nonsense, and as soon as I announced a full migration to and primary platform being Lemmy, r/privacy became completely shit, and r/PrivacyGuides was abandoned by mods/admins for lemmy.one PG instance.
I also helped make c/datahoarder atleast an official alternative for r/datahoarder community.
The crazy thing is, I left Reddit because I thought I’d miss Boost for Reddit too much after the APIcalypse and now that we have Boost for Lemmy I’ve already became too used to Voyager to care lol
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.
@Dariusmiles2123@lemmeee I am using degoogled /e/ OS and banking apps (German and Swedish banks) work fine because proprietary Google Mobile services were replaced with open-source Microservices.
