This dev seems aware of your work, I've no idea why they're doing it anyway: https://www.reddit.com/r/mobilelinux/comments/1vsyzz6/comment/p4qlh1q/
I find it crazy that there are people out there who care about ethical repairable tech enough to invest hours and hours into Fairphone, have the know-how to hack away at Linux on mobile and develop hardware support, and nevertheless use Reddit and Twitter as the only channels to communicate this work.
I get that the Fediverse is still pretty niche by most standards, but for FOSS development it seems to be a pretty obvious meeting point.
Edit: It turns out the other FP6 hacker is also making their own non-federated Reddit alternative, which probably explains the absence from the Fediverse. 🙃
You invited me to do some investigative journalism

also develops a centralized social media site, which does not even load text content without scripts and HTTP fetch requests being allowed.
so far I was thinking maybe you two could join efforts. now I understand if you don't think that could work.

Wait, you're not spending all your free time developing for Linux on phones! /s
(It's a good thing really that it does not eat up too much of your own time and thank you for your work).
It seems they are choosing to ignore it though, Nick seems to be after clout and not the work.
