Looking back at HMD’s models after 2020 I think this is pretty plausible, with how all their smartphones during this period are likely ODM model - you can tell with how they all use the same Unisoc or MediaTek SoCs.

I mean, only smartphones that are outsourced to Chinese ODMs would ever use these chips, you’ll see this with other brands too.

Perhaps zombie brand mode would also be a suitable term, if not for the recent Skyline and Fusion which feels like genuine efforts from HMD.

No shit, not everyone can shell out money for an iPhone or your typical flagship Android phone, even in the US.

I myself use Google’s Quick Share for this. Falling that, the Send Anywhere app can also work - it’s not the fastest compared to Quick Share, but pretty reliable long as you have decent internet.

While I have seen a few instances like this on Reddit, they were always at least 6 month old posts, and none that’s from the recent ad crisis. So yeah, not much to conclude here imo.

Damn that’s probably the best analogy here so far.

As long as Lemmy doesn’t turn into another escape for CP/Nazi’s/random shit groups.

That’s quite the irony since there are Lemmy communities that originate from subreddits that actually got banned on Reddit, for being too toxic even by Reddit mod’s standards.

Like that recent drama about lemmy.world defederating from a hardcore communist instance.

I believe if there’s one community that will take forever (if at all) to move to the fediverse, it’s the manga/anime community.

Subs like r/anime and r/OshiNoKo are as active as ever - especially during r/Place, pay attention and you’ll see a lot of anime mascots in the canvas back when it was around. Anime/mangas also tend to attract the younger crowd which tend not to care about the protest anyways, from what I’ve seen.

I mostly only use car subreddits like r/cars, but it’s mostly the same over there - things haven’t changed for the most part.
