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)?

Genuine question, why go to the trouble of switching to a privacy focused os then install Meta apps? Do you just not like Google?

[–] Brutticus@midwest.social 9 points 1 week ago (5 children)

For one, I was getting really irritated about the apps my google device wouldnt let me delete, and also the apps I wanted to side load. That being said, I definitely don't like meta. I have an app on my PC called caprine. I wouldn't download first party meta apps, but these are the apps my friends use to talk, so if there is a workaround, I was just asking about that
