I am curious how many people do not use desktops in this day and age. I do not. I use my phone for everything (online) tech related in my life.

Is this common?

I only have a phone due to social pressure, it's only an absolute last resort for me. Desktop/laptop, where I can actually see everything and have a proper keyboard and shortcuts, all the way. I'm told I'm a dying breed but it amazes me how so many people can stand to use their phone as much as they do, because to me it's infuriating.

Just as a separate follow-up comment (if you'll excuse the double posting): I'm surprised the response here has been generally so anti-smartphone so far, given that the mass-migration from Reddit to KBin/Lemmy has been characterised as a reaction to Reddit killing mobile apps.

This thought is what spurred me to make the thread - I would have guessed I’d see more people using mostly mobile for that exact reason.
