I was being tongue in cheek, you got me, hah, but rather surprisingly it can be. My best experience lately turned into a 2 hour WhatsApp conversation talking about Audre Lorde quotes and setting up a coffee date. :)
Since I use jmp.chat for SMS, Matrix for everything else, and can use ride share apps and OSM from any browser... I think I'm going it a shot soon. Every corner of my digital life is plagued by proprietary crap lately, and AOSP builds are just a nuisance with SafetNet nowadays.
I probably will try it again, or go back to Lineage OS depending on how my other attempts go. It does irk me to use Android, and then not be able to use Netflix, banking apps, etc, etc. At some point, it's literally just easier to use Linux+Firefox.
