Hahaha, sounds like a good plan

What alternative are you suggesting?

Probably possible yeah, but if the account gets flagged after users reporting it, they'll need to get a new number afterwards, which isn't that easy (at least where I live).

Where are you receiving these spam messages from? Random numbers aimed at marketing or what?

Disguising or disgusting?

I think a lot of people are arguing that the models which are used to generate these types of content are trained on literal CSAM. So it's like CSAM with extra steps.

FYI, the Haven F-Droid repo has seemingly not been updated in 4 years. Latest available .apk is from 2019.

I think for obvious reasons, hahaha. Tux still seems like a nornal animal-penguin. Not too many people like anthropomorphised animal characters, especially if they suddenly wear clothes and walk on their hind legs. Just gives of Disney-esque furry vibes.

According to one alternative posted in the past by a member of the Furry community?

But yeah, you're wrong. Linux is predominantly portrayed by a penguin mascot, Tux. Some distros are named after penguin species too (Gentoo for example)

That's awesome if that works for you. By all means, sacrifice privacy for comfort. It's not affecting you in the immediate short term, so why not? We're all different and it doesn't help trying to prescribe approaches to intetnet strangers. But yeah, I still get your frustration. A short while ago these weren't such consistent issues. We're at a crossroads, Twitter, Google, Apple, Microsoft, shit's changing y'all.

The choice, as always, is up to you. And the all too familiar factor of comfort is always threatening to lull you into capitalist oblivion. You are a number, you are a statistic, a means to an end... But not necessarily. Choose your battles. Set those boundaries. Protect yourself and be awake. Yo bro, you woke? I'd rather be woke than aslope.

Yeah valid point. My computer is my TV, so I only have 2 devices to switch between.
