How was your experience with Mobian? I had my install break like 3 different times with barely any usage / installing packages.

This. Many see their car as their only means of mobility. So if you take away their driving license you essentially take away their (perceived) freedom.
Now for rural areas there needs to be actual improvement of public transport infrastructure or otherwise people will riot. For urban areas where public transport is good, you just need to make the option more accessible.
Oh yeah true forgot about that part. Pricing for phone and text plans within a country weren't the issue but across country was (and still is) is super costly and in Europe especially close to borders it's quite common to have friends and family that lives in another country, so having a cheap/free way to message them is also what gave rise to 3rd party messaging apps ^^
It's interesting how different the experience is inside the US vs the rest of the world. In Europe, where Android holds a majority, basically everyone is using 3rd party chat apps like WhatsApp, Signal, etc...
I would agree, IF Signal also wouldn't allow backups on Android and wouldn't store images on desktop completely unencrypted... At this point it's just hypocrisy
IMO it's a user's choice whether or not to backup their data. Wire handled this quite well where you could backup your chat history etc but you were required to set an encryption password for the backup.
For reference, Signal is my main chat platform and my main point of contact. Having 2GB of chat histories that could just be lost at any moment is quite unnerving and a major reason for me to look at other platforms...
Compared to old.reddit + RES there's still some space for improvement in terms of UX for lemmy but overall, not too bad :P
Yeah, I generally prefer kbin's UI over lemmy's but given the backend is in PHP I have concerns that it might not be able to scale effectively with its growth.
Not saying that PHP is a complete showstopper but there are valid concerns in terms of maintainability...
