If I may, what is your current phone? Finding one that fits the bill isn't an easy task nowadays

But it’s also easy to get stuck in a view like visiting your country’s instance and it turns out it’s a bit radicalised against immigrants, or certain places where you end up blaming everything on women and the “woke movement”.

Hopefully there would be another community for the same country with other perspectives, and visiting both would allow to avoid the echo chamber effect

Interesting, I read so much negative feedback about the Pixel 6 and 7 hardware that it really stuck with me. Also I'm not in the US so I wouldn't benefit from a lot of Pixel unique features.

By the way, is it true you can't remove the search bar from the Pixel launcher?

And yes, I know that buying Samsung indirectly supports Google, but it seems like a potential better deal to get a slightly better phone.

I'm a bit torn on this. I'm not a Samsung fan by any mean, but the hardware issues with the different Pixels (reception, overheating, etc.) and the Tensor ships vs Snapdragon make me reluctant to get one.

S23 especially seems like a solid device, with better battery than S22, "compact" size and good chipset. Also not the biggest fan of supporting Google while they clearly lack vision on what they are doing with most of their products.

GrapheneOS might be an option but I would prefer not having to tinker with the OS of a several hundreds euros phone.

Seems like there is no ideal solution.

Instance admins and mods are not really any different from the ones on Reddit. They’re still not immune to power tripping, and I have had to leave some communities and an entire instance that was suffering from that.

Indeed, but the difference is the ability for a community to walk away to another instance. You see that regularly, and that's a good thing

Yes, it's been there for a while

Seems okay at the moment, at least !europe@feddit.de properly federates

Sorry to hear, hopefully you'll be able to find one!

Sorry, I misread your request.

https://linkwarden.app/ has hosting for 3$ per month.

Don't know about Murena, but Disroot is a solid choice

Interesting

It is up for me

Definitely, that's why I always prefer instances with at least two admins, and a Matrix room for status updates

Logseq is another interesting tool https://logseq.com/

Tradition and support in major life events. A lot of people who only go to churches for weddings, baptisms and funerals.

Mbin is very promising!

It's kind of fair, to be honest, and the "no big corporation" seems more like a pro than a con

The difference is probably that here if you disagree with admins, mods or power users you can just migrate your community to another instance.

Mamma Mia, here I go again
