much thanks to @gary_host_laptop for the logo design :)
Get a Pixel and run Graphene OS. Use Signal or similar for talk and text. That is better than a dumb phone
You won't get much privacy from a dumbphone.
I had the Punkt. and sold it. Things might be better now, but Signal had delays...up to 2 hours sometimes to receive a message.
KaiOS probably shares data (no proof or sources for this, just guessing). That is a large chunk of the available phones, depending on where you live.
Get a Pinephone, or a Fairphone with Ubuntu. More privacy and more features than dumb phones.
@aba11 @privacyguides @privacy I know Pidgon is KDE Gear’s chat client (or GNOME World’s, I can’t remember), but which protocols does it support?
Pigeon is a fork of Signal only available on Punkt. devices https://github.com/Punkt-Tronics-AG/Pigeon
not to be confused with Pidgin Messenger https://pidgin.im/
