First of all, to anyone downvoting my Comments about /e/ being a piece of shit, because...

  • they advertise themselves as degoogled, but instead let you connect to Google/Microsoft/etc services

  • replace all the propriatery not at all Secure Services from Google, with.... Drumroll please.... Propriatery and not at all Secure Services from themselves and actively encourage it.

  • They are For-profit

  • and being MORE out of date then even Fairphones stock roms.

... I told you so. Dm your Instance admin, pay them to send the DB entries of your Downvotes on a Thumb drive (or anything else from SSD to 3.5 inchHDD, depending on your preferences), and shove it up your rectum.

But a TL;DR:

/E/ is not Private. They just switch one bad comany to another one.

Use GrapheneOS or AOSP GSI if you're not on Pixel.

never heard of AOSP GSI, I'm on CalyxOS rn but I might temporarily switch because they're unmaintained whike doing their audit.

so, GSI is just android with fast updates and the possibility to only have foss or have no apps? that's not what I need, I want a system with microg or nothing instead of google services, only foss apps but ideally no apps preinstalled(that, GSI can do) and also privacy features like microphone and camera blocking. I think I'll just use lineage, or install a real linux on it.
