You've been through two phones in just four years? That doesn't sound that great for them...

Wouldn't it be better to just, y'know, cut out the free space around it?
First - 6.3 usually means already over the edge of comfortable, 7a is already almost too much. Second - thickness adds to it when it's in your hand. And third - why would I spend huge money (doesn't seem like it would decrease in price with generations as much as a normal phone, it might be EOL when it becomes affordable) on something that breaks more easily and is still bigger?
The ones I have seen in stores are still too long to be used with one hand or fit comfortably into a pocket. My Pixel 7a is about the biggest I can use one-handed, and even then there is awkwardness.
I wonder how it would impact custom OSes.
Also they don't include comments, which are a huge part of my reading. I save pages to read on a e-ink tablet for comfort, html where pictures are irrelevant but pdf in case of any graphics.
I wonder what those do with people who live in apartment buildings, lol.
I mean... They disabled desktop registration, then disabled registration from any non-official client, then can randomly ban people who try to make their usage of the platform more private/anonymous... Then there is censorship, at least here. And I have heard of at least one case of cooperation with German LE, so it's not "untouchable" for Westerners too.
It was never safe with such an approach of "I can close my eyes and pretend the law doesn't apply to me" even in the West. If it was hostile to privacy and anonymity by design, it was a matter of time until it became wide open to Western LE too. The sheer amount of compromate it had on users was a ticking time bomb.
"Highly decentralized complexity" - what does that even apply to? That would apply to Matrix, XMPP, Simplex, especially Briar. Even Signal can technically be selfhosted (whether it is feasible is another question), in Telegram you can't have even that because the server is closed.
I am not disagreeing with your experience. I am disagreeing with cursive being a "made-up thing that nobody uses".
Although there still is not a similar way to acquire your first Monero, the minimum amount for any trade there. Same problem as Bisq)
