If they replace protesting mods then the communities can just overload the new mods until they restrict the sub (again). The real problem is people giving up (which just so aligns with what reddit wants). Personally, that’s the reason why I’m leaving because apparently a lot of people genuinely thought that a 2-day blackout would cut it. Yeah, right.

Make that 4500

Don’t forget to check the xda page for tue device you want. They could also have better, faster oses and kernels for you to try out!

I hear the Oneplus One and Google Nexus 6 are decent options if you’re ok with using a bit older hardware, and not 5G.

For the newer features, xiaomi offers the option to install different OSes OOB with only just an application (not as in app, but as if you were applying to get a job).

However. Try your absolute HARDEST to get a device not attached to a vendor, because lately (as in the last 10 years), more and more vendors have been locking down the bootloader for their devices.

Though, it’s all personal preference. The devices page on https://lineageos.org/ is very comprehensive, just remember to choose a device with at least lineageos 19.0 if you want to continue getting updates. I hear that android 12 changed things and forcibly discontinued many devices.

“Wait, FOSS is political?”

“Always has been.”
