The Motorola 'moto g' range phones are pretty inexpensive and close to stock android, and the newer ones support esim I believe. My mum uses ones because it's pretty easy for me as a Pixel user to support her but she wouldn't pay Pixel prices.

Either way someone who is doing the "these are my wee mates" shit with the state that has blown up basically every school in Gaza and killed thousands of children whilst getting the US to threaten the ICC, should not be the Edu Minister cause there is a rot in his soul that will never come out.

The problem is though, when you make it harder for people to reply to a post, that discourages people who were leaving simple, pleasant replies. It never discourages the people who are angry and/or intentionally harassing the poster. You're basically pre-filtering for negative replies with this.
