  Might be good for kids but ogherwise owning a device that decides for me what apps are allowed to be installed is not ok.

  And it’s very expensive.

  Ars asked Fractic if community forums would also be blocked. In response, he said that old school bulletin board systems are permitted, but Reddit is not.

  More importantly, how about Lemmy?

  i think it runs sailfish os, so it should be fairly trivial to put stock sailfish or some other mobile linux distro on it. pure speculation though.

    If it had 5G, I might bother, aftter toying with it as-is to see if I could just live with it.

    Otoh, the way their description reads, it wouldn’t surprise me if it also filters client traffic in hot-spot mode, which would be a bridge too far to me.
