Glad I don’t use any Google services and no apps on graphene OS then for my main computers I run Fedora silverblue with no Google once again.

That sucks my bank app doesn’t seem to rely on it for anything other than notifications and I can live without those.

Because I am trapped here and have to use current tech and you know I dont do off the grid! 🖖

I have a work gmail as well with works apps with Google Play but it’s in a work profile so separate from. Main so I understand that.

Yeah looking into all of this now I might move towards a invite only and keep groups community’s etc unencrypted and moderate them all. Or make community’s etc only allowed with admin approval. UPDATE: we are now invite only working on generating some invite codes if anyone is interested comment below.

Also because of this comment registration is temporary disabled while I disable rooms and spaces, and community’s so it will be messenger/group messages only. More limits may be imposed not sure yet still reading all the options in the docs. Also looking into other methods like disabling encryption on group chats if even possible to deter this.

Zero signups so far so no one really interested and kinda knew that mainly for personal use.
