Today on #mastodon I started seeing a little blurb in my timeline, "who to follow". Shades of twitter! When did this start? I clicked on "don't show again", and I saw it again (although that may have been on a different device).

I'm looking for feedback about SailfishOS, Murena, PureOS, UBPorts, PostmarketOS, or any other OS that are not android based. Like, are you happy of it? Are you limited by it?
