   #Introduction #Introductions

   Hi,
   Another account of @PaulaToThePeople.

   This is all about #Fairphone.

   The story:
   Do you remember back in the days when #Apple installed the suicide nets in "their" factories?
   That's when I decided I'll no longer buy any Apple products.
   When my iPhone died I looked around for a more sustainable and/or free (as in freedom) option.
   So I stumbled upon Fairphone and bought the #FP1 or rather the #FP1u.
   Soon afterwards I joined the first Fairphone meeting that took place in Vienna, Austria and we founded the @AustrianFairphoners.
   So I joined the Fairphone community on Dec 9, '14 and it was like a family for me for a long time.
   In 2018 I was actually introduced to the #Fediverse via the Fairphone forum.

   In 2019 I joined #FridaysForFuture and ever since, I'm less active with Fairphone, but I would still never buy another phone and if I get the chance to help setup a Fediverse instance for Fairphone of course I will take it. 🙂

   Who else owns a Fairphone here? I'd love to read your Fairphone origin stories. 😉

     @paula Wow, that's cool! And exactly how it should be! Communities need to keep an eye out for each other.

     My coolest FairPhone moment was when I learned that my sister-in-law, perfectly non-nerdy primary school teacher, had bought one without any influence from me.

     She even explained to me her arguments for why she thought it was an important choice and why she was happy with it.
