Yes but some of the people criticizing Lee may be Swedish or another culture that has the same view about public character assassination.
In some cultures, including Sweden, it's not considered proportional to attack someone's reputation publicly, even when they do abusive things. Here, the proper response would be to report the post to mods and to the police, and let them see over the punishment.

On non-Fairphones, which tend to have larger batteries and lower power consumption batteries tend to be usable for much longer. We are talking 3-5 years there.
No way.
Get the battery replaced once in the phone's lifetime at a local 3rd party repair shop for €100 wait for half an hour and get your phone back.
These shops only service iPhones and Samsungs, there's only like 1-2 shops in Stockholm that repair Pixels and Xiaomis at all, let alone whatever 3 year old model you have. Not to mention things like screen and USB port repairs cost 100-200€ more than the fairphone parts.
(Fairphone tends to have availability issues with spare parts. For example, right now the FP5 battery is out of stock.)
I've had to wait a month for a fairphone battery before, but it's not like they're discontinued. I can imagine battery warehousing costs more than screens and USB ports.
A repairable phone is the most important thing. I could buy a used flagship, but the battery will be trashed. I used to buy a phone every 2 years but now I just buy a battery every 2 years. I can use my phone knowing that if anything breaks I can have a replacement part in within a week, and I don't have to spend 100€s to ship it to some repair shop in a different part of the country.
Fairphone 4 and 5 are also the only smartphones certified by the Swedish unions: https://tcocertified.com/product-finder/index?category=Smartphones
I have a grandfathered purchase of their app on android, works very well
It's a shame that GrapheneOS won't support phones without a TPM like it's Windows 11
Why crop the timestamps? sus
Who in the US is buying midrange or flagship phones without a loan?
would probably take a month or two
also there's a vestigial headlight, and the two wheels have different style fenders
