  • Imagine it’s the 90s again, everyone has a phone number, but one person will only talk to you via ham radio. Same energy.

    For communication, people will prefer what everyone is using, simply because it’s easier to reach someone else. Herd behavior. You can try to get them in, but pressure will mean that it’ll be you who will have to either give up and cave in to use Discord, Whatsapp, etc, or get removed from the talks for refusing to be where they want to.

    I wish I could leave whatsapp, but it’s a literal case of “everyone uses it” in Brazil. Even the short, justice mandated wpp blackouts couldn’t keep people on telegram for more than 2 days.



  • At this point, the “best” solution might be buying one of those SBC (single board computers) that also has an android image, like orangePi or ODroid and “build” the rest of the phone on top of it. Might be the only way people can get a screen smaller than 6" as well. I say Android in this case because it has access to all the apps without needing emulation or Waydroid

    OOOOORRRRR, just buy an used older phone that you know is easy to unlock and install a custom rom. Did that with a motorola G6, am happy with lineage. Not the fastest phone by a long shot, especially as newer versions of many apps just introduce more bloat because fuck you, but perfectly usable for messaging and video watching. Also has a headphone jack!
