        The cheap motorola phones are cheap because they all come with adware and app installers which install apps without your permission.

          No, that’s not really accurate. Motorola has in the past offered the “Android One” option which was mostly debloated from the factory. I had one and it was the best factory version of Android I’ve seen, very little bullshit included.

          Plus when you install GrapheneOS, ALL of that bullshit goes away for good.

        Motorola will only have 1 phone with grapheneOS on it and GrapheneOS will dev for that one device but they won’t dev for other Motorola devices. Do not expect to pick up any moto phones except that one device and flash grapheneOS on it.

        To Lemmy users sure. But who outside of Lemmy, privacy nerds, and android enthusiasts even know what Graphene OS is?

        Even my friends who are Android nerds had never heard of it until I started asking them about it. Graphene is a niche of a niche of a niche.

          Considering PewDiePie talked about it, and needed on view count, at least a couple million know about it

          Nobody really but if they advertise it right it has potential since even normal people care about privacy

            If normal people cared about privacy we wouldn’t be in this situation to begin with and the world would look very different today.

            I swear Lemmy users are as naive as I was at age 20.

            The average person really doesn’t give *that *much of a shit about privacy. If they did FB, Google, etc wouldn’t be so big and profitable as they are. They Apple care about privacy.
