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  • and being MORE out of date then even Fairphones stock roms.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

    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

      Yeah, the context aware thing is killing me.

      But the fact that it can tell where commas go and not overcorrect is pretty decent.
