No way. Coverage on my carrier is solid everywhere I’ve been - even in the middle of a national park a couple of hours outside the city recently.
I like to get away, but I’m not the type to want to go to extremely remote places, hours from the nearest town in the middle of the desert or anything like that. So this is useless to me.
I’ll accept it if it’s free, otherwise you can keep it.
Happy with our Nvidia Shield TV Pro on the main TV and Onn 4K Pro on the secondary TVs.
In both cases with the superb Projectivity Launcher, so we don’t need to see the default Google font end and any promoted content.
It’s perfect.
For general browsing, news, technology, mainstream topics etc… it’s much better than reddit, less toxic, better vibe.
It’s very small though, so I’ve found two areas where it is just not a replacement:
Specific, smaller niche interests, they might have a community here but it is often empty and quiet or just non existent.
Sports, specifically a place to chat during live events. There’s not enough people to support that.
So it depends what you are looking for and how niche your interests are.
I’ve mostly stopped using reddit and am in here now. But I still end up there occasionally. Not much these days though.
I don’t disagree.
There is one forum I still participate in:
https://forums.whirlpool.net.au/forum/
It’s mostly tech-focussed and Australia-centric, but it does have other topics like sport, TV etc…
I wish there were more like this.
I hate that the bulk of online discussion is now owned/monopolised by a couple of huge corporations.
