last night, my pixel came! I flashed Graphene and I am now running it smoothly!

I am in the process of downloading apps and I have a question: I am interested in at least using discord on this device. It is absolutely one of my most used apps. On PC, I use legchord. Im a big fan. Is there something similar available for mobile? and I have a similar question for Whatsapp, and FB messenger (although those are less important)?

even government agencies work through whatsapp in my country. there's no escape from them if you want to exist in society with the way things are right now.

I get that, but change will never come with compromise.

change will not be coming from social isolation either

No one is suggesting social isolation.

quitting some of these apps in some parts of the world will leave you incommunicable.
