It's crazy how much the creator of pixelfed does. And it's literally only 1 person working on all the things he does.

Session too. Not a big fan of signal since it requires giving them your phone number.

loved the pixel 3a. traded mine in last year when the pixel 6a came out because they had such a good deal of a $350 trade-in value, essentially making the new phone just $150 (which, sad to say, is low for a new phone. So I had to jump on that deal. Plus, with having a nonreplaceable battery it was time for an upgrade anyway since battery life was beginning to sufer.

So excited for the day when I can just replace the battery and keep using my phone (for as long as it received updates at least!)

Get a Pixel phone. 5 years of updates (technically I think that's only for security updates, which, arguably are the most important kind of updates. Sure, new features are always nice to have, but if your phone is vulnerable to security flaws because it's outdated that's an immense problem)

Even better, get a Pixel phone and put GrapheneOS on it for a more secure and more private phone.

I can get onboard with (micro) sd card slots. But honestly I'm fine with not having a headphone jack. I never used it anyway. And wireless earbuds are way more convenient anyway because you don't have a wire tethering your phone to your ears.

Edit: I should add that GrapheneOS is way more privacy-oriented and secure than LineageOS.

FANTASTIC. I'm just disappointed that it's as far away as 2027 and not 2024 or 2025 :(

Edit: Oh, I just read this part

By 2027, all phones released in the EU must have a battery the user can easily replace with no tools or expertise.

So...I'm sure us North Americans will still get screwed with nonreplaceable batteries :(

as a sex worker rights supporter (plus, my best friend is a sex worker) it's honestly kind of scary to see both Twitter and Reddit destroy themselves (at the same time). Mostly because Twitter and Reddit (especially Twitter) are the only places left on the Internet for sex workers to simply exist in the post-FOSTA world that we live in (thanks Kamala Harris!)
