What new phone should I get? My current Pixel is getting old and malfunctioning
Discussion
Not a #Pinephone. Never a Pinephone.
Librem maybe? What other mostly-open hardware phones are out there?

Pixels are open hardware, you can install a variety of software on them.
Do a Pixel 8 with #grapheneos
I use https://jmp.chat/ and no cell phone
But if you need a portable phone I would look at dumb-phones
This looks good. Do you use multiple #xmpp clients with it, a favorite or the app they recommend for Android?
I currently use Phone.com's service in a similar way, mostly doing text and calls from my computer.
I've used multiple clients, for Android/Chromebook I use their app (Cheogram)
Late responding to this but you can look at running a mobile Linux distro on a Pixel 3a, OnePlus 6/T & probably a few others. Gives you pocketable Linux like the Pinephone but with hardware that is easier to tolerate. This is coming from somebody who ran a Pinephone as a daily driver for 2 years. It's doable but leaves much to be desired. I've been considering snagging up one of these devices myself.
