Dang I downloaded this after seeing this comment and it's quite the app! Didn't know this was a thing!

Better option is to go to the source and download/update from there since updates can be delayed in fdroid. Could use singing like https://github.com/ImranR98/Obtainium to track updates from the source

Then a Google voice number is fine for that. Just create a junk Gmail and had that number out.

I've recently been looking into mysudo. For $1 a month you can get 1 number as well as some extra stuff if you care about that.

You can use it without Google services if running GrapheneOS but it takes a second normal phone and a throwaway Google account to work. Incoming notifications don't work but if used as a spam number that's probably a good thing lol.

Haven't pulled the trigger on it but seems like something I will probably set up at some point

SMS is unencrypted, insecure, and not private to begin with. Your SIM provider can see everything you send plus track you via cell towers.

As someone who is currently de-googling my own stuff I understand but wanting google services but please don't think it being Google is why it's not Privacy focused.

I heard about Lemmy with the Reddit debacle but didn't think much of it. Then I got a Pixel 7 Pro to run GrapheneOS on and while searching droidify I found Voyager and thought I should check out Lemmy.

Its taken some effort figuring out how this shit works but I think I'll stick around for a bit
