After repeated data breaches that no company really seems to give a s--- about my phone is blowing up with literally hundreds of spam calls and texts month. I get and make MAAAAYBE 2 or 3 important calls per month, 180-200 of the rest are literally all spam. Anyone have any suggestions, apps ect that they have found refuge with? I really don't use SMS that much either, mostly it's via signal, discord whats app, ect...

Just to put it out there I run CalyxOS on a Pixel 5a.

    so, your mileage may vary but here's what I do:

    • people I want to talk to are in my contacts list
    • I ignore all other incoming calls
    • voicemail is a filter. use it.

      If they don’t leave a voicemail, then it’s either spam or not urgent.

      Fuck the people (like my boss) who say “You’re so hard to get hold of”. Send a message or leave a voicemail, you caveman.
