Hi,
Another account of @PaulaToThePeople.

This is all about

.

The story:
Do you remember back in the days when

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

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.
