If you convince consumers to switch over to FOSS for ethical reasons like surveillance and avoiding influential algorithms then you have something compelling. But at the moment the world is glued to proprietary social media. I'd love if users would flee Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, and Twitter. They are such simple concepts that can obviously be replicated, but those established companies already have the users at their control. There needs to be focus on convincing users to move away from these services. There also needs to be more funding for social media alternatives. Rather than FOSS developer attention going into reimplementing Android apps from 2011 or God knows what these people in the Linux phone community are thinking. Those are some pretty big steps before we even think of Linux for phones, assuming ethical reasons are the interest. I don't understand this interest in Linux on phones. It doesn't make a difference for anyone outside of the tech hobbyist realm.
