Yeah all fair.
That’s pretty much how I feel about apple. I think at this point I’m leaning towards going to Graphene OS. I used to use custom ROMs a bunch back in the CyanogenMod days.
Yeah, I’m not trying to go full paranoia on this.
The main thing I’m worried about is Google’s response to geolocation based subpoenas. That combined with the US political environment is concerning.
The second thing is the stupid advertiser tracking. That’s just not cool.
Yeah, this is what concerns me.
Stock Android is neither. So for the average user, Apple iOS is probably better.
I’m on lemmy so I’m probably not the average user lol.
Pure personal preference. I’ve traditionally gone back and forth almost every time I get a new phone. It’s really only in the last 2-3 years I’ve hit the point I significantly prefer android.
For me, some of the interface choices on iOS are no Bueno. Additionally, the lack of a button, or simulated button is not something I’m fond of.
I’m also not convinced they are more private. I think Apple’s incentives line up more with mine than Google’s, but only barely. Independent researchers are pretty mixed on whether Apple is actually blocking all apps, or just making it so Apple is the only one who can profit off of people’s data.
The only reason I think they are probably more private is the giant hissy fit Facebook threw over their settings.
Went to signal awhile ago, mainly because it’s secure and cross platform.
Hmm that would seem to do the trick then. Curiously, by that same definition reddit would have an argument to being exempt.
I guess lemmy’s lack of trackers would also help with that problem.
I’ll do both for a bit and see what happens.
I’m done posting on reddit, and I’m only interacting with specific subs (maybe via web with an ad blocker). But until the community here gets a little bigger I’ll probably still go there to look at content.
That said, I’m trying to make an effort to post a few things daily somewhere in Lemmy. Be the change you want to see and all that jazz.
Went to go get some errands done, and come back to find I have more Lemmy upvotes than I had karma in the last 10 years lol.
This worked lol.
I still have like 1 or 2 communities I don’t have replacements for (yet), so I plan to treat them as forums essentially. Just the specific subs I care about.
Basically I’m thinking I’ll quit using the front page.
Is this a shit post, or the wrong link?
