First of all, to anyone downvoting my Comments about /e/ being a piece of shit, because…

  • they advertise themselves as degoogled, but instead let you connect to Google/Microsoft/etc services

  • replace all the propriatery not at all Secure Services from Google, with… Drumroll please… Propriatery and not at all Secure Services from themselves and actively encourage it.

  • They are For-profit

  • and being MORE out of date then even Fairphones stock roms.

… I told you so. Dm your Instance admin, pay them to send the DB entries of your Downvotes on a Thumb drive (or anything else from SSD to 3.5 inchHDD, depending on your preferences), and shove it up your rectum.

But a TL;DR:

/E/ is not Private. They just switch one bad comany to another one.

    Their voice recognition gets a b. G board is more likely to correct based on context. But honestly, even if only it’s a B plus.

    FUTO doesn’t capitalize random shit and slip driving replacements in.

    I do find there’s swipe to be annoyingly less accurate. Well, maybe that’s not exactly the right phrase. It requires me to be far more accurate.

      I do find FUTO is sometimes too aggressive about its autocorrection. Especially when trying to type into an email field or use an abbreviation or a hyphenated word.

      I can’t tell if swiping has gotten easier over time or not. Sometimes I can miss and it still knows the word, and other times it’s simply impossible to get the word I want.

      It feels as if the sentence context isn’t influencing the choice of correction enough so I have to help it more than gboard. But overall I find it easier to use than the other open source / private keyboards I’ve tried. And thankfully haven’t regressed to gboard since using it
