So here I am having dug deep into the #deGoogle world for sometime (including many Linux options: I have postmarketOS and Ubuntu Touch devices looking at me now, and alas my Pinephone sits on a shelf 🙂).
I think there is growing demand in the USA for a #deGoogle / #deApple option, and from my POV @iode@mastodon.online is the way I fit with best and can see many others preferring should the alternatives I mentioned previously not be a good match for them.
I have even become the community manager for iodé!

But "where to go from here"? Currently @openmobile@mastodon.social gets about 4-5 inquiries a month which results in about 2 sales. Since I keep my margins low, this means "negligible income". Do I get more active on *other social media* but even then it is talking to the big void! Local meetups? The challenge there is that it does take a bit of an already motivated person to be interested? Protestors resisting targeting from state actors may need the first *not friendly* option I mention back in 1/ 🙂. 6/
