I think it's fine for this particular journalist to bring attention to it, even if it reveals the outlet's ongoing bias.

Likely a game changer. I've been giving Lemmy a try. Jerboa isn't too terrible either.

They're likely more interested in control than revenue.

There are also some quirks in how Kbin handles things that differs from Lemmy. Linking to Lemmy instances works fine when viewed from Kbin, but it doesn't seem to work when linking Kbin communities. All fairly minor though!

Streisand Effect really only applies if they were making their own submissions about it. Replying to this one doesn't really make the cut IMO!

Interestingly, I think only one of the countless Tesla owners I know works in tech.

I totally felt the same way about my Galaxy Nexus and pretty much every phone until recent times. Although I do wonder whether it's really about the devices or us just being older now!

I think the Pixel devices are better but they don't have the personality I remember from Nexus devices (sorry !googlepixel@lemdro.id).

Another important factor is that they're built by people who also use the software themselves.

The lack of Google Sync on alternatives seems to be a major draw. With that said, Firefox Sync works well. I just wish their Android app were better (Fennec F-Droid would be perfect if it allowed fully sideloaded add-ons from local storage and a true OLED black option).

Both of the moderators supported the move to consolidate and their announcement thread was widely upvoted.

It's 453 upvotes and 86 downvotes. I wouldn't personally consider 84% support pathetic.

You may also notice that both mods supported the move (as both Mike and Devgard joined !android@lemdro.id).

It only takes a few dedicated people with bots, but it does probably benefit their metrics.
