Remember, of course, that Wickr has been owned by Amazon since 2021.

I’ve just looked it up on UrbDict, and I think that might have been a joke that I just didn’t understand. I guess we just use “post” and “repost”.

Ah, fuck.

Well, thanks for letting me know. Believe it or not, it’s not the first time this sort of thing has happened.

That would be cool, but Bluesky was still using a photo of literal blue sky as its icon until recently.

That’s Bluesky. It’s supposed to be a federated social media, but right now there’s only one kind of software for it and you can’t yet self-host it (although you can self-host your data). The open-source protocol, known as AT, was created by Twitter back in the day, and Jack Dorsey and a bunch of staff were able to rescue it when Musk took over.

AT does not federate with ActivityPub, but users of either protocol can appear on the other using Bridgy; and some Friendica instances have basic support for AT. The equivalent of “fediverse” is “ATmosphere” (with the first two letters capitalised).

Since it became public (as opposed to invite-only), Dorsey left the platform and went back to Nostr (yet another microblogging platform, this time built around blockchain :-P).

It’s actually quite a nice place, in my opinion, with a vibe similar to a combination of Twitter and Tumblr.

Sorry for going into this much detail. I just really like explaining things.

EDIT: Turns out, the word being thrown around in place of “tweet” was also slang for cum. I have removed it, as this was probably originally a joke.

You need Windows to run Odin. Fastboot doesn’t work for Samsung, and Heimdall hasn’t been updated for seven years.

Well, GrapheneOs is a bit easier. GOS uses a WebUSB installer, which does a lot of the work for you.

LineageOS requires things like ADB and Fastboot. In my case, however, it was a Samsung device, so I had to install Windows and then mess around with Odin.

I also ended up soft-bricking the device by trying to sideload the OS before it had finished downloading.

Well, you can still get pretty far with GrapheneOS. Pixels can be re-locked, which is a feature I wish all Android devices had.

It seems to be running well on my Galaxy Tab A7. Definitely better than One UI or whatever it came with.

Soft-bricked

I mean soft-bricked. I fixed it, but it made things more difficult.

To be perfectly honest, I think your best bet is to learn a programming language, get a few programmer friends together, make an account on Codeberg, and do it yourself.

Of course, there’s always a chance that some fuchsia-based OS will become available for phones, but I think most people are focusing on Android ROMs and Linux phones at the moment.

That has been really helpful. Thank you!

Well, in this context, it was my response to you saying “mister/miss”. I am non-binary, so “Mx” (pronounced “mix” or “mux”) is a more appropriate choice.

It also goes at the start of a name, so my full name would be Mx. Hellfire One O’Three (using my username as an example, so as to not give out my real name).

I suppose you could use “mistrum” instead, since it’s gramatically correct; but this isn’y widely used.

It’s a title. Like Mr or Mrs.

Mx, please. Thanks anyway!

Anonymity focused, eh? What sort of features does it have?
