I thought that would happen the moment I saw suyu uses only a discord server. Shame they didn’t use matrix or even IRC

Yes, if you want an alternative that supports more phones, look into Calyx OS

Upsides: Everything just works, no google tracking, creating a google account is optional and its easy to setup

Downsides: You aren’t able to automatically backup the internal storage of apps without a lot of work (external files such as photos and documents are fine though)

I’ve been using it for about 1.5 years, I would recommend using it if possible

To be fair, while unreal isn’t FOSS, it’s source code is at least openly viewable so devs would find it easier to make easily transferable alternatives
