:( did you get one? what are some of the problems you've been having with it?

I might look into it. I used Lineage OS on the Essential Ph-1 and it was even slower than the stock ROM.

You should be able to use Lineage OS on your 8 Pro: https://lineageosroms.com/instantnoodlep/

PinePhone suckssse you prob like me just like the idea of it. In reality the hardware sucks and so does the software.

I've never had a smartphone. I currently still use an old candybar style Nokia phone. It can call and text and has tetris. But I want a PinePhone!!!

eSim no?

An old one. But it works, so whatever.
I tried buying a new phone, but it's kinda overwhelming and with the simple specs I want: triple sim, dual sd-card slot and 16:9 display I seem to be shit out of luck. Even dual sim phones prevent sd-card usage if you actually dare to use two sim cards. Like, what the fuck. I don't get why SIMs are still necessary and couldn't be digital, but here we are.

Well, this site is available via the clearnet and my name is on the bills that pays for this place to stay online. If it's legal, it's fine. This site was never intended to be a home for things like illegal marketplaces and such. The idea behind it was a proof of concept of multi-network accessibility of a reddit-like site and an emphasis on privacy. That's why /f/privacy is the main forum and the one I post to the most.

For a true 'free for all' type experience, I'm sure there are places on Tor that are more open to it. This site isn't one of them and has never been promoted as such.

You can view the Global Moderation Log (nav bar up top) to see what things I remove. It's mostly spam.

OnePlus 8 Pro. The hardware is good (except for overheating when recording long videos), the software has many small issues that makes it hard to recommend. Switching apps sometimes it'll freeze and you have to press the recent button (square) then back to the app to make it respond. The phone will become laggy after 1-2 weeks without restart. The screen turns yellow whenever an HDR video is played. It also doesn't have a one-handed mode, since it's a big phone, makes reaching the corners with 1 hand almost impossible. Also VPN app gets killed randomly, so you lose connection without notice.

This phone is 8/10 hardware, but 5/10 software. Maybe when there are stable third party ROM for it that solves these issues, then it'll be worth buying.

I'd like to think most people here are inherently good. In fact, I'd say people in general are inherently good regardless of their political beliefs or their anonymous online personas.

I was planning on getting a Pixel 4a running grapheneOS then i remember i still had my old burner taped to the ceiling in my closet so and my phone was becoming a time suck so i switched to the flip phone. the flip phone has a modern os/rom i could browse the wired but i don’t. i just use it for simple texts but mainly calls. i do miss having a good camera in my pocket though. so i wouldn’t be suprised if in a couple months i switch back to a dumb phone.

Dumb phone, same one for over five years.

Pixel 3a XL with CalyxOS, though maybe I'll get a flip phone when I won't have to rely on my phone so much (when I'll get a new laptop).

I want to watch fights for the throne of reddit-like sites between RAMBLE and lemmy, just for my fun! RAMBLE to be available for good people more and more.

Btw, did Raddle fight lemmy for their anarchism, communism or something? :D

Galaxy S10. Pretty standard. I replace my phone maybe once every 5 or 6 years, when using it becomes cumbersome. To put it in perspective, my first smart phone was a S3 which I got as a work phone, then I replaced it with a Huawei something or another (yeah yeah, China bad. I got it. ) and then this S10.

When it comes time to replace it it'll probably be with something I can harden a bit more. I don't use much of the 'smart' features of the phone anyhow, outside of browsing the web, Signal or the camera which I still think is fantastic for a phone.

Though I do sort of miss the simplicity of my old Nokia brick and Cingular (remember them, anyone?) flip phone. I've had a few random dumb pre-paid phones years ago too since I was always too poor to afford a proper phone on a plan. I know that they still make and produce flip phones too, my old job had shared flip-phones for the shift supervisors to carry around and used in some other cases for like emergency or if the phone system went out. I remember when the old ones with the broken buttons, cracked bodies and fucked up screens got replaced with brand new Verizon flip phones. I felt like was a teenager again.

Yes I agree and I've seen pretty bad stuff on other networks

Fair point. This could be truly free reign but then this site would just be flooded with cp and honeypots. Rambler will do what he has to do to not get in legal trouble. I think the level of freedom we have on this site surpasses a lot of other sites while still maintaining quality.

To be fair, Ramble also has some limitations, so neither platform has "anything goes"?

From Ramble's rules: "some things are just plain illegal and the owners of this community do not wish to be held legally liable to those who misinterpret this website's accessibility via 'the dark net' meaning that it's some sort of unmoderated free-for-all".

Legality differs from country to country and in my country we have very strict laws for example against any form of discrimination, incitements to violence or crime, selling stolen goods, etc. So this does restrict many then fully participating on a "free for all platform". So every user does need to make a judgement call based on their own values and what their country's Constitution or laws state.

"Any form of censorship" in my view then includes the removal of such attempts to sell illegal goods, to someone discriminating against another based on age, gender, sexual preference, religion, political beliefs, etc. Censorship is just a loaded term for moderation. They are exactly the same thing based on rules that exist on a site or within a country.

if it has any type of censorship it sucks. from what i understand lemmy does. so it sucks.

Lemmy censors words and instances, it's a literal shithole.

what distinguishes ramble.pw from others is it’s run and operated by fascist sympathizers on principles of so-called “free speech”.

Based.

Interesting for us end users of course to know which is what etc, and to know Ramble is based on Postmill, with what looks like additional network protocol options as well as a transparent mod log.

Yes I see the older post dealt with free speech and censorship, but that is also relative to different countries. Many countries do have limitation on both physical and verbal acts in public, and whilst some don't want that, others actually do want that. So I suppose options are always a good thing to have. This is not the Facebook world where users only have one network to choose from. Both networks (and others) end up all flourishing.

Meh. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ https://images2.imgbox.com/34/4a/MYcBuAO4_o.jpeg

They can have their site, we can have ours. Not sure why it warrants discussion. The only thing noteworthy enough in their discussion that I want to touch base on is the mention of Postmill. Yes, we're using Postmill to power this site. It's open source. The creator and community behind Postmill are not happy that this site uses their software so it seemed sort of respectful to not advertise directly that this site is powered by it, even though that information can easily be found elsewhere on this site. If emma wants me broadcast proudly that this site is powered by her software, I'll be happy to oblige.

This site is available for people on the far right to use. It's available for people on the far left to use. It's available for people in the middle to use. People can use it or not use it, that's freedom of choice. It's not like there aren't a ton of reddit-like sites in existence to choose from already. This site is just yet another option.

EDIT: Phrasing

No problem.
