I am curious how many people do not use desktops in this day and age. I do not. I use my phone for everything (online) tech related in my life.

Is this common?

    I only have a phone due to social pressure, it’s only an absolute last resort for me. Desktop/laptop, where I can actually see everything and have a proper keyboard and shortcuts, all the way. I’m told I’m a dying breed but it amazes me how so many people can stand to use their phone as much as they do, because to me it’s infuriating.

      Just as a separate follow-up comment (if you’ll excuse the double posting): I’m surprised the response here has been generally so anti-smartphone so far, given that the mass-migration from Reddit to KBin/Lemmy has been characterised as a reaction to Reddit killing mobile apps.

        This thought is what spurred me to make the thread - I would have guessed I’d see more people using mostly mobile for that exact reason.

        The reddit API shit didn’t impact my reddit use at all, but it was such a shitty thing for people that it spurned me to bail. I haven’t been back to reddit since. Things don’t have to impact me personally for me to react.

          Same, yes, for me it just woke me up to how the quality of Reddit had been declining over the previous few years. It was like a boiling frog until then. I think the spez AMA was ultimately the final straw since it showed he just didn’t care about users or improving anything.
