Best thing about the pixel is it lets you sideload your own operating system from Grapheneos, Lineageos, Calyx, etc.

The only issues I have are unfortunately still common throughout the entire phone industry (No user-servicability or repairability, no SD card slot, no headphone jack)

Wish you used Matrix instead. Kinda weird to use discord imo since it’s horrible for privacy & as others have said it’s just another closed-source walled garden, and that’s the reason many people switched to lemmy in the first place.

Even if there’s a matrix bridge to it I wouldn’t join because my messages would still be stored on discord’s servers (as far as I understand, correct me if I’m wrong). I hope you consider switching.

You can get a Google pixel and sideload an operating system such as Grapheneos, and you won’t have to deal with any of Google’s bs spying. Highly recommend looking into it.
