Probably a meme instance / parody

The thing is, they often don’t believe that vaccines work

When is the year of the linux phone

what is this idea of “thin phone”??? A thick phone could fit more battery and specs and better camera

people around the world are fascinated by the sheer lack of phone here

My thoughts exactly

Forums are only sort of social media

There is less focus on users and more on topics, and they have more practical uses than social media

But still, Lemmy is social media, I guess.

Google "degoogling".
Actually don't.
Search it on DuckDuckGo.

Access YouTube through Invidious.
Install GrapheneOS on Google Pixel phones, and /e/OS on other bootloader-unlockable Android phones.
Or go for a real Linux phone.
Swap Chrome for Librewolf or Firefox.
If you use GMail, move to a different provider.
Use Openstreetmap.
Replace clouds such as Google Docs, Drive, Calendar, and Photos with alternatives.

It’s not equating. It is, however, a way to tell what is likely.
