I assume everyone on Lemmy uses GrapheneOS on a Pixel 7 or LineageOS flashed onto a LG Tribute with zero Google apps, and everything backed up via nextcloud running on a headless Debian Raspberry Pie?
I’m just a scrub using stock Android. Am I the only one?
We’re still working on publishing the results of the census we ran a few months ago (sample size of around 600, where most users were from our Lemmy/Piefed instances)
Here is the graph for the phone question, exact numbers pending final cleanup:

We will also be fixing the data labels to be less terrible
You got me, I have GrapheneOS on a pixel 8a. Seems like Android’s only getting worse, so I’m going to do my best to never go back now. I’ve had it for nearly a year and I’m super happy with it, everything works just the way I want it. My only concern is the small battery meaning it often only has 30% charge left by the end of the night.
I use Ubuntu Touch on Fairphone 4 with Nextcloud backup (self hosted).
You are lemmy
Unihertz Jelly Star with its stock Android. Fantastic phone :)
How do you even type on that thing
If you think about it, our phones were small back in the day. Some of the candy bar phones were even smaller than this. It’s just that we just grew to want bigger and bigger things over time and most people are unable to downsize (in general, even in finances). I had a hard time in the beginning but then I got used to it. Bottom line is that humans can adapt. Most of us just don’t want to
I see. What benefits do you see with that phone?
I’m just not a glued to my screen type of person. For the most part, I use my phone to call people or listen to stuff. Lemmy and Reddit (I’m sorry for still being on Reddit) are the extent of social media that I’m on, so I’m not spending hours on end doom scrolling. So, I don’t like to bring a large phone anywhere I go. It’s camera can go with a 50MP images (just not post processed like in most brands) and I’m happy with that :) Using it for Google Maps was hard in the first week, but then I adapted and I’m fine with it :) But yeah, in general, I’m not a glued to my screen person :)
Interesting. Maybe I should consider it when its time to get a new phone
