    @waldschneckeHere's a "Fairphone Angel", I got my first FP3 in 2020 then I had FP5 and now FP6.For the same price you can get a better phone both from a performance point of view and from a "stability" point of view (it's like using Linux, sometimes you need to workaround a problem).So, if you buy it on a "weak motivation" there's a risk you get disappointed because it's strong point is ethics.I'd say FP is a phone for human rights or environmental activists, people who put that stuff above many other things.This being said, it's a good phone, you can make calls, browse the internet, listen to music, you have Wi-Fi, Bluetooh, NFC and all that nice stuff.It's also the only phone I've ever had that makes me proud of it. Usually, a phone can make you happy if it's a good phone but not make you proud of it. Well... FP does it.There is a strong community (the Linux analogy is always OK) that can help you if you run into troubles. There is a support team that's really slow to reply in case you need it so better if you keep a backup phone, just in case. However, when I had a problem (and after letting me wait for weeks) they really made everything they could to solve it. I've never seen the same involvement in any other support service.Despite my involvement on the project I never suggest to anybody he/she should buy this phone, I don't want that responsibility. Satisfaction can be very different depending on how you weigh technique and ethics.However, it's my phone since 2020, I'm happy for that and I would never change my FP6 for an iPhone 37 (or whatever number they are now 😀 )My best wishes you can make the best choice for you.P.S. If you live in Sweden have a look at "Bark Sweden" wooden cases. They have also for FPs, I've got one and it's the best suit for that phone 😀

  • @operand However, they experience those problems in a *completely different way*, which not only is their userbase unprepared for, but the pre-existing experience of fediverse users does not exactly prepare for!

  • @mcc I guess you could simultaneously see this as a success and a failure for ATproto: decentralization is possible... but you immediately get a lot of the same problems ActivityPub has that ATProto ostensibly solved.

  • This is why—although, now Blacksky is letting me "see through" Bluesky's worst moderation decisions, I'm glad, because Bluesky's moderation is weird and arbitrary—I think it's a downside of the network, and Mastodon made the right decision not offering this feature. Fediverse defederation forces a degree of soft group consensus on moderation: it's possible to say "if you're talking to X, I don't want to talk to *you*". On Bluesky we are all ghosts walking through walls and this can't be enforced

  • Oh, and let's consider, for a moment, the downsides of an individual user being able to "opt out" of moderation decisions. The problem with misbehavior on social media is force multipliers. One person harassing you is no problem; one person and their 3000 friends is a big problem. Imagine Bluesky and Blacksky ban user X but Trumpsky lets X keep posting. Now their 3000 friends— still in Bluesky's good graces— can see their posts calling to harass you, AND can zero-friction zip over to yell at you
