AirVPN, IVPN, Mullvad, Windscribe

Soulseek / Nicotine

No app I know of, but imginn.com still works for me with public accounts

nobody ever wants the megaboob

Nope. LibreWolf & Waterfox are top-tier, Zen and Mullvad Browsers aren’t bad at all

I swear by AirVPN. Not the fastest or fanciest, but they’ve got port forwarding and are run by an activist org; I’ve got a lifetime membership IIRC

I went through this same process recently. Since Apple was finally implementing RCS, I was looking forward to my iPhone friends complaining less, but unfortunately it seems like Google pretty much has an iron grip on RCS as even with Samsung Messaging or Beeper / Sunbird, I’m pretty sure you need a Google Account

I’ve been meaning to move on up from mechs to ergomechs but the analysis paralysis is real lmao This one seems like a top contender though. You ever try anything else like the Dygma Defy or the Moonlander or anything?

Glove80?

Been hunting for the same thing for years
