    So yeah we’ll do a decentralized Linux phone of sorts, if Google is going full 3rd Reich with Android we’ll move to a Linux based OS phone.

    Simple as that.

      Who is we? what group of people has the dev funding and time to produce FOSS hardware and software to compete with the average android phone?

        We the people that want a finished product with distribution and a good eco system from day zero. It must be next gen hardware and be priced more than competitively.

          It’s good to want, and I say that as someone who would dance for joy if an open source phone became viable. If you think starting a new ecosystem and expecting it to be “good, next gen, priced competitively” is feasible via volunteer work anytime soon, I want whatever you’re smoking :)

              Expecting sarcasm to be understood in text is dumb. Too many dipshits exist to assume people arnt serious

                I wouldn’t call it dumb but maybe expecting too much from people now that convenience and hand holding is expected at all times.
