The analogy of simply choosing different software doesn't apply here. Because I can switch my os or calculator app. Those choices don't depend on other people. Sadly, we still depend on being able to read content that other parties we care for still publish on Twitter even though I disagree with it as a to. Maybe they do or dont care. I can disagree with Twitter and like my influencers. For that, something like nitter is a good step in the direction. I want to move. As muchas I'd like to snap my fingers and have everyone into my network of personal choice. It cannot happen.

I feel more the lack of my favorite communities that haven't made the jump. Some alternative attempts exist here but are dead. I miss the variety of topics and random discovery as well.

They aren't E2EE so all messages and activity are recorded. They are subject to to very different rules than regular chats or groups.

I renewed phones late last year and I pondered on getting the FP4, but I was unhappy with the camera and even though it's replaceable it is not upgradeable. I got instead a Pixel 6A and it's a pleasure to use (tolerating all the Google stuff).

I have high expcetations for FP5

I Spanish, the Real academia de la lengua is often used incorrectly by people as a prescriptive reference but what they really do is gather the common usages and incorporate them into the language. It's like a descriptive record of language.

Signal and whatsapp (due necessity) for daily life. Slack and email for work stuff. Rarely send personal emails anymore.

I used influencers as an example, that's true that they're everywhere. But there's many communities I follow that don't care about Twitter politics, and they got little interest or even information to consider moving elsewhere.
