   @p @crunklord420 @pernia @lina @waff @phnt @sicp @akai @dsm @jp @stelo @gikobot @mint @maxmustermann Considering that unless you use https://replicant.us/ Android is proprietary software, that checks out.
   
   Reportedly some use iphone's too.

   @themilkman @SuperDicq >just mostly free as to get the benefits a person has when using free software.
   Android is nowhere near close to "mostly free" - all of the software in a typical Android install is proprietary software.
   
   There is only one free version of Android, where developers have removed the proprietary software from each component and released a free version; https://replicant.us/
   
   >how does people start using an operating system that is more free, rather than all proprietary, harm the free software movement?
   If people start using an OS that is 100% proprietary and that is functionality very good at shackling the user and taking their freedom, rather than a free OS, that harms the free software movement.
   
   >is the problem that pewdiepie failed to properly portray free software, and the movement?
   Pewdiepie failed to point out that free software existed *at all* - he mentioned very few free software programs and in all cases insulted them by referring to them as "open source".

   @cnx It's odd that memes use the wrong names instead of the relevant one.
   
   Unsurprisingly, the only free version of Android is a breeze to install; https://replicant.us/

   @cowanon @teto @sally The only fully source-available and also free software mobile OS is Replicant; https://replicant.us/
   
   Stuff like LineageOS and PostmarketOS is full of proprietary software and isn't even completely source-available.

   @Marshall1Banana @teto @sally I use a GNUbooted KGPE-D16.
   
   There is only one free software cellphone OS; https://replicant.us/ unfortunately that can't do anything about the proprietary malware that runs on every single mobile chipset.

   You have more choices in operating systems than the incredibly restrictive iOS used on #iPhone. You can use your phone in #freedom with operating systems such as #Replicant: https://replicant.us/
