Non toxic mobile privacy community (sh.itjust.works)

So I've been in the rabbit hole of android privacy for some time, last I joined the GrapheneOS community but let's just say that they doesn't have a "healthy" opinion about other projects like f-droid.

So I am looking for generic communities that focus on mobile privacy that doesn't have drama or toxicity or "extreme opinions". Any suggestions? I prefer chat based communities like matrix or simplex instead of like reddit or lemmy.

You can just join XDA. TBH if Graphene is not your thing and Lineage OS isn't supported on your device, you can just unlock the bootloader and install the patched kernel using KernelSU which will give you the control you want.

Device support?

Best supported devices: https://divestos.org/pages/devices_golden

All devices supported: https://divestos.org/pages/devices

Most of them older devices. This is not the fault of the Lineage OS devs, but companies just aren't allowing it anymore. So if you have a new device, Lineage OS is not an option, if you're in the US

It's based on Lineage, so lots

Yeah, I want all my devices to run LineageOS and that limits me from lots of options to maybe 2 or 3 modern ones at reasonablish price points.

Thankfully I don't live in the US, it would be even more difficult as you said.

The dev has ties with the Graphene OS project and has had some controversy. Not to say that it is bad but you should be aware of the person who controls it.

XDA has a chat?

[–] MigratingtoLemmy@lemmy.world 3 points 2 months ago

[–] Dark_Dragon@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 2 months ago (1 children)
