A place for optimism, relentless positivity, anti-doomerism, and snuggle sessions.

We're all in this together, and a better world is possible!

This is now also a space for organizing tips for our collective survival as we confront climate change and everything else. Still no doom-posting. We're here to work together, support each other, and boldly face the future.

Rules:

  1. Familiarize yourself with the site-wide Code of Conduct

  2. No doom, no gloom, only bloom. There's plenty of room for doomerism elsewhere. This community is solely for having a positive outlook on the future and spreading good vibes.

  3. Be kind to your fellow users. This also means no arguing in the comm. Arguments and negativity are not conducive to blooming. Constructive discussion is good. No interest-policing. Support your comrades in their joy!

  4. Always share good news. We can't exactly enforce this one, but if you have good news, please share it with us! Keeping happiness and positivity to yourself is the twelfth type of liberalism.

I have a OnePlus 12 and its my favorite phone I've ever had. I sometimes take the case off to admire it because I'm a freak and because its a beautiful emerald green.

Problem is that most of the Chinese companies don't include all the necessary cell bands on their phones for the US so service and/or speed can be a little worse or very significantly worse than something from Google or Samsung.

But you get a device that usually has higher resolution and better overall specs for the same price.

OnePlus, despite the only company to sell domestic versions of their phones, still removed some bands from the 13 series that were in the 12.

I hate the US cellphone monopoly.

Same, oneplus 12R, best phone I've ever had. The fast charging on chinese phones completely eliminated any battery anxiety. Like 10m of charging gets you from 0-50%

Same here, the battery charges so fast and lasts so long, the haptic motor feels good, the camera zoom is nice, and it's a good display. I was dumb and didn't use a case for a while, dropped it, and now there's a big crack in the glass back.
