I want to go full open-source with my phone, which is why I use Lemmy instead of reddit, there are a lot of proprietary built in apps that are bloat and are of course, not open source, Samsung does not let you disable or uninstall any prebuilt apps, any ideas?

You can use Shizuku with Canta. You can pretty much uninstall any app that way (even system apps), but you of course can also brick your phone if you aren't careful. There are builtin warnings for critical system apps that will brick your phone.
