Why use swype keyboards when you can use thumb-key ?

I mean, unless your hand are such that you can type using 10 fingers while holding your phone, using a typewriter machine's keyboard (so that the branches don't mix if you type too fast?) is a total non-sens!

    Using a mixture of the suggestions, swipe, and thumb typing on a touch qwerty I can write faster than I could on a keyboard, it's super easy. Even when I was practicing touch typing on a physical qwerty, my brain couldn't manage more than average 40wpm I don't think. Which is slow, if I remember. Much faster using a mixture of input styles depending on the word I am about to input. My mind pretty much instinctively knows which is gonna be the fastest method of the 3 at this point. I don't think limiting one's self to a single input style would make people like me any faster.

    That looks interesting but I'm kinda turned off that it's made by an authoritarian propagandist. And yes I know he made Lemmy too, and he's also why so many instances block ml.

    If yo prefer a non-free option, made by a profit oriented company, "message ease" offer a similar system...

    Also, using a qwerty keyboard doesn't force you to love neither Remington nor Mr Sholes...

    Oh i know it's a nonsense position to take and I'm probably gonna check out the keyboard anyway, I just don't like that guy's values.
