Thinking about buying the fairphone 4. Coming from oneplus 8, which is almost unbrickable, thanks to an EDL MSM tool.

Obviously, I’d be careful. But am I likely to brick a fp4 by ROM hopping? Is it dangerous enough that I should not go into buying this phone with the intention of installing a ROM?

Mainly, I want to play with Ubuntu Touch, PostmarketOS, and maybe sailfish. But I figure if those don’t quite work out, I’ll land on Lineage with MicroG or /e/, since that’ll be stock fp4 in the US.

      I’m waiting patiently for that and other moderating tools. I’ve also been having to manually send a message to people whenever their posts are removed. 😭

        Oof, Mastodon is proof that the Fediverse can come up with good moderation tools but it kind of took Gab to do so, let’s hope it won’t be that way with Lemmy!
