As a mod on a few garden and science subs at that time, they were pernacious and ethically inept. They would associate anything anti-pesticide or GMO with being an anti science quack. And they would dog pile on poor individuals expressing concern.
I had several debates with them, often reported them for brigading, and ultimately had to ban them.
As for hardware quality, I’ve had my Tab S5E for years, and it is super solid. It looks, feels, and sounds great. It’s one of the few samsung devices that can be unlocked and Lineage installed on. So, if you’re willing to put in the time to install Lineage on it, it’s android 13 and the newest version of Lineage on it.
