I’m not trying to convince folk at all. I’m stating a fact that many prefer it because of it being FOSS. I don’t think anyone could ever persuade you of anything. Btw, Karma doesn’t exist here. That and your toxic attitude are better found on reddit.
You’re on Lemmy here. There is many people who actually care about privacy and telemetry doesn’t sit well with them. Many have been put off by the recent direction.
Not necessarily, there is MineClone2… https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5aHym2jUB1M
Cool idea.
On the topic of FOSS, and promoting it, could we possibly get a MineClone2 server hosted, please?
We set up a community here and favour it over reddit: [email protected] (edited in proper URL)

Who said anything about less important?
We’re all busy, and we use our time how we choose. They choose to use it in this way and I thanked them. Maybe consider how you spend your time. Arguing on the internet gives you very little.
Apologies if I came across as rude, but there has been several posters that are “interested” but couldn’t live without Auto or payment. It’s like of all the millions of features phones have, and the majority of dissenters here need the exact combination that GrapheneOS doesn’t support. I find that really odd. If you are one of the few that needs that, point taken and maybe it isn’t for you, but until today I hadn’t heard of Auto’s and now it’s critical and something that cannot be lived without.
When I got a degoogled phone, I’d already decided I do not trust Google with my data and I want to be far away from them. With that decision came the decision that I don’t consider them an authority I rely on, and don’t want their opinion on what is good and what isn’t. If people aren’t ready to degoogle, that is fine, but to ask google if it’s cool to degoogle is a an area where maybe folk aren’t ready to degoogle.
You are such a nerd…
… and so wonderful! Thanks for looking over source code so busy folk like me don’t have to! :)
The two main features that aren’t biggies and GrapheneOS doesn’t support and they’re the deal breakers? Yeah, right…
I’m using a 6a and it works great. Mileage may vary if you get under contract as these companies sometimes mess around with the boot locking stuff etc.
I got the 6a over half a year ago for £299 brand new. So about $350 dollars, I’m guessing. Best to get the older models when newer ones are out or just about to come out. 6a is really great.
Hi google, can you approve our phone that basically cuts your apps out and offers privacy from your mass spying operation please? Such a weird point.
In the UK we have tap to pay debit cards. Mixing that in with the phone is always weird, especially from a privacy perspective. I wouldn’t want that.
Face unlock and fingerprint unlock are the biometric stuff I avoid when I get a phone to improve my privacy. I’ve not had issues with download speeds.
What is android auto?
Edit: auto = some car integration. Hands free works OOTB for me on GrapheneOS. Not needed anything more.
Not had issues with Signal, but yeah, wouldn’t touch Telegram with a barge pole. Probably a CIA honeypot.
You’re doing an incredible job. Keep going :).
Or botted contents going, or instances going offline. I’m pretty sure it’s total. I think world and ml have around 500k posts. There is no way it can be a daily contents when those 2 are the most active.
I think it’s total posts. If you look at the list of instances and posts at the bottom it matches closer to total posts:

It’s still epic and growing both in quality and activity, but it’s still got a long way to grow. I feel optimistic. :)
Except if you live in Saudi and you voted in support of gay rights. Or HK and voted something negative of China, or if you were a republican and voted something supportive of trans. Voting behaviour can be published to bring detriment to their users.
In the UK, the Labour party suspended members who voted for content from other parties (such as that they had recovered from covid) etc or for voting for content from groups that were proscribed later and they were excluded from the party for this sort of stuff. They had previously hired someone who previously worked for a company linked to the Israeli state and potentially Mossad and they were using this knowledge to crack down on left wingers with in the party.

What people upvote is increasingly being highlighted and used as discreditation by association.
As the world becomes more digitalised, and this is used more and more, it becomes more and more critical. Maybe not for you personally, but for many.

Multiplayer servers have between 20-40 on it most days. So usually can find people to play with. Quite a number enjoy the game. Obviously not on the level of MC. They’re a lot bigger with far more resources, but it’s a pretty solid game. It’s always special when people give up their free time to make the world better rather than tear things down ;).
