they did? totally slipped past me…

Gotta look at that. Live traffic info is one of those things, that OSM lacks…

You have to use an app for that. OSM is mostly a big database with an API access to it. There are a lot of them out there with a lot of different focusses. For navigating with a car OSMand is pretty good. They are on fdroid.

I’ve had Threema for a while even before that, because my family group migrated there. Though I do not have a lot of contacts on there :D

I Don’t have WhatsApp anymore. Though I just deleted my WhatsApp account and said that I am no longer reachable via that crap. If you want to contact me use Signal. Most of my friends just installed Signal (a few took some time), but if you don’t do it that way you will never get away from WhatsApp just because of the network effect… And yes, you will miss out on some groups

OSM is not that user friendly as Google Maps for sure, but if you really want you really can replace GMaps. It probably heavily depends on your country and if the OSM community is active there, but for example here in Germany the mapping information is basically on par with GMaps

I use Organic Maps to find places by name and OSMand to find places by address. Both can only the do one of the two things good, but it is doable.

which one? Button or Button?

changed it 😁

I have the 4 and I relly like it. It can’t compete performance wise with other phones at the same price point, but the mission is great and you get a long life out of it and good software support.
I am running iodeOS right now and it is just great, couldn’t be happier. I am however not running games on it or anything, so not the biggest power user here…

My reddit bots are still up as well…@ProgrammerHumor@prequelmemes

The fediverse is not build for messaging. It is an inherently public model of everything. “Private” messaging is possible, but more often referred to as “direct” messaging, because every server admin can read your texts, as activity pub (the foundation the fediverse is based on) currently has no capability for end to end encryption.

Matrix is propably what you are searching for, as the other commenters pointed out. Alternatively may XMPP, but from what I’ve observed Matrix is a lot more active atm
