I haven't post in Reddit since they announced the app ban. I found reddit and for me the transition was instant.
I still read reddit for information. But for posting and social media I solely use lemmy.

I will push with my current phone, for a few years. Luckily abd installs could do the trick for a while.
For when this phone is failing I hope the new partnership between GrapheneOS and a phone manufacturer that's not google is already working and producing a phone I could buy.
Neat trick for when you want to cool something for free:
Just wait until the heat death of the universe.
