So how many years of service is that, that it has been going alright and not giving you issues??
And are you US-based, and with which provider?

It looks like it was released it like 2015… https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fairphone_2

As I have learned more about the Fediverse, and begun exploring all its depths, I have similarly thought about that paradox between, as @[email protected] mentioned,

just the internet as it was designed to be. A network, not a broadcasting medium. A place for connecting people
versus the fragmentation we’re all seeing

It sucks, but as I see it it’s just kinda like the “growing pains” as we shift towards Web 3.0 and Decentralization, away from corporate overlords, figuring it all out communally, the balance between ourselves being monetized like the whole “If something is free, you are the product.” line gets at

“Growing pains”

It’s to be expected in this transitional time and period away from corporate social media, towards federated. It sucks, but it’s really not the end of the world. Cool your jets, salty

It’s reasons like these that I like to create 2-4 different accounts on different instances for all around the fediverse , so that if one fails I’ve got a backup, but also so I can “pick and choose” which pros and cons of each instance I like.

It’s obviously more to keep track of, but I encourage others to do the same: create like 3 different accounts on different instances, and toggle through them whenever you need something that one offers that another doesn’t.
