Don't let perfect be the enemy of good.

Fairphone is far from meeting the update and security requirements for GrapheneOS. It isn't a viable platform for a hardened OS to use and isn't likely to ever become one due to security being very far from a priority for them.

GrapheneOS has a partnership with one of the largest Android OEMs. They're going to be announcing it in March 2026. Devices meeting all of the update and security requirements from them with official GrapheneOS support are planned for 2027. We don't expect future Pixels to prevent installing GrapheneOS but we'll be fine if they do. We'd still like to keep supporting new Pixels but they'll become a secondary option in the future since there will be devices with official support.

i use social media and have never gotten a shadowban. to the contrary grapheneos actually is very effective against apps like reddit shadowbanning you - if you get banned outright on reddit, for example, you can create a new profile in private space and reddit will not be able to detect that you're ban evading.

if you get banned from the profile u use in the app in private space, again, if you just delete private space and recreate it, download the reddit app again, it will be unable to detect that you're evading the ban. i previously tried doing this on other os's and reddit detected the ban evasion.

don't ask me how i know. (just correcting this misinfo)

Try a social media that is not antisocial. HN, Mastodon, Tildes, various forums... lots of communities and tech content are available in browsers or via open source apps

I'm not aware of any that bans you when not using an allowlisted OS, so maybe it was something else that caused this shadowban, or (more likely) that's just my bubble

I love the ability to block apps from accessing the network. There is no reason apps like the keyboard, camera, or other offline apps and games need access to the internet.
