That’s very encouraging to hear, however unlike you I don’t use the bare minimum features. I use a lot of cloud features, and use iMessage group chats frequently. I have been able to find replacements for the vast majority of those thanks to the great people here, however as you said since I use iMessage group chats frequently, I will get pointed at. I have already tried to switch friends to telegram and they have declined, so that may be a blocker.

This app seems very nice, especially since it uses its own layout and not the same old that every other Lemmy app seems to use.
When you say make sure your network is fast enough, how fast do you mean? I have 200mb, is that fast enough? (It’s the fastest option for my house)
I think grapheneOS will probably be fine. There are however a few google apps I absolutely need for work, namely google docs and sheets. From what I could read on their website the google services aren’t included at all, even microg and require extra setup. Can this be made to let me run all my apps that need them?
Airmessage seems intriguing, I think it may just work!
Loooking at the wiki for those doesn’t list modern devices, or even older ones like the pixel 4 through 7. The phone I was looking at buying was a pixel 7 pro as people here seemed to recommend the pixels. Will droidian or others run on this?
As for operating system, manjaro is obv a no go. I also will avoid UBports as I don’t really like snaps or Ubuntu. This leaves droidian and I was looking at postmarketOS, but that doesn’t seem ready. Ideally as I’ve said phosh or gnome shell mobile distros would be best but I can’t find any that support modern devices that run these and I don’t really want to spin my own. Are there any you can think of or perhaps some privacy respecting androids that still let me use google apps I may need or stuff of the like?
How fun is baldurs gate 3? Considering buying it as this looks fun, but could also just be survivorship bias as I mainly see highlights. Is it worth the money?
Can you elaborate on the issue with viewing all? If I just want to scroll and see stuff will I be bc able to see anything across the fediverse that I am federated with or is it really only stuff I am subbed to?
Why do you use waterfox?
All that will happen is you will be defederated. Lemmy.world has made it clear it will defederate any unmoderated instances for one, and other will follow.
Divest seems interesting, if I can get around the iMessage hurdle that may very well be what I land on!
