I really fuckin' wanna ditch my spying, anticonsumerist, battery chugging and generally only increasingly infuriating android phone for a device actually at least vaguely under my control but few of the things that I have to use a phone for are doable on the Linux thing!
I need the stupid banking app, the stupid work auth app, the stupid state legal filing app, and the stupid carsharing app. They all suck shit, but provide access to services that are either unavailable or considerably less accessible without a "phone" (actually, a comprehensive advertising and surveillance platform under direct control of either Google or Apple).
For this linux thingus to actually replace the function of a modern phone, all those services would have to be accessible through it, but the current "industrial" zeitgeist makes them all only less and less accessible unless you essentially strip down and stick their favored personal privacy probe right up your ass.
Right now it feels way more plausible to get the cheapest Android phone "certified" to interface with the services, keep it off and wrapped in tinfoil unless needed, and when you have that, the device you actually want to use for your actual computer/communicator purposes might as well be of dimensions of a small laptop too, because you've already been forced to own a "telephone" anyway. Now, if we backed out of this monopoly-of-trust nightmare that is the backend google/apple services create, I'd get something like the thing in the OP in a heartbeat.

What are you doing?
Entangled quantum particles do not allow for faster than light communication. They allow you to be sure that once you collapse the quantum state on one end, it has been or will be the same one on the other end too. The moment you entagle two states, you know they're the same (or "matching", which can also mean opposite depending on the states) without actually measuring either of them (where measuring does require destroying them).
A quantum state is like a scrach lottery ticket. You don't know if it's gonna win on lose until you scratch it and essentially invalidate it as a "playable" lottery ticket. Quantum entanglement allows you to "clone" tickets without actually scratching them, but you won't know if they're winners or losers, just that they match.
The one thing that defines utility of a social media platform is the userbase. Literally nothing else matters if you don't have the users. That means that forking it is, unlike most open source software, a complete non-starter. You can't just decide you don't like the algo and that you'll modify it and use a different one; if Twitter doesn't expose the actual users and their content to whatever selection you wish to make from it, showing the alleged code to the selection algo is worthless.
It's some form of cool to expose how exactly the sausage is made, except, given the people involved, I'd not trust them to actually give you the complete real deal and there's no way whatsoever to validate that the code they release is really it.
I've used twitter for years and gathered a "following" way larger than I've had on any other platform since, but these days I'd rather scream my musings into the wind (or perhaps even less meaningfully; post them here on Slashdot) than post on a platform ultimately fully under control of the whims of one of the dumbest manchildren of his generation.
If you don't have time to do it right, where are you going to find the time to do it over?
