I would first enquire if this idea can be patented. This could ensure your intellectual property remains with you. This should be your first step, I think. Also, are you able to prototype this yourself?

Here’s a good guide: https://fedecan.ca/en/guide/get-started

There is a DM system, but that’s not really what Lemmy is for. It’s basically a reddit alternative. So blogging in various communities. Find topical communities based on your interests, read what people are posting, comment or post your own.

Personally I use 24 hr time and YYYY-MM-DD date format almost exclusively, but here in the US you’ll get a bunch of people arguing and frothing at the mouth that MM-DD-YYYY is way superior because you say “March 16th 2025” instead of “2025 March 16th” and 24 hr clock is called “military time” because they are the ones using it. So, in short, it’ll take a lot of effort to change people’s habits.

Of course you can get a used of refurbished ones for less even Apple. I was referring to new devices. As an example, I use a Motorola Edge plus that I bought new for $400. It does everything my wife’s iPhone 15 Pro. The camera quality is slightly lower, but perfectly adequate.

You’re must be joking! Look around, if you look past the bitten apple, there are plenty of perfectly capable devices out there for under $300. In fact, I see plenty of people who are on the street corners panhandling AND using a smartphone.

From what I see Hexbear is pretty toxic and gets regularly defederated anyway.

No other way, if you’re banned.

Crate an account on a different instance? And oh yeah, stop being a dink?

My rule of thumb is this: if I perceive that the IP I want, was created by an individual who must have spent their blood sweat and tears creating it, I’ll pay for it to encourage that work. If, on the other hand I’m being made to pay extra for something just because there’s a queue of corporations that just want to profit for providing something made by others, I pirate it as a form of protest. As an example, I’ll gladly pay for an ebook being distributed through an author’s website even if I’m not sure I’m going to like it. But I will not pay for a cable subscription just to be able to watch sports programs. Another example: I’ve paid money for mobile games when I see a lot of effort being spent in making the gameplay engaging, but I will delete or try to cheat or pirate games that I perceive as pay-to-win.
