There will probably always be a manufacturer that looks at that niche.

That answer is at best only partially right.
The real answer is that Pixels were, until very recently, Google’s officially supported reference hardware in AOSP while everything else is a community port of some GPL compliance source code dump.
Community ROMs are Pixel first because Pixels just work.
It’ll change now that Google decided to no longer release Pixel adaptions directly as AOSP and the community will have to port that the same way as for any other vendor, especially if a vendor decides to maintain their adaptions in LineageOS.

This is not a complaints forum. See pinned post.
You’re single-handedly saving this entire thread. I was about to delete it for being off topic.

It took me a while to be able to look at the reports and since some almost entirely Lemmy-focused discussions have taken place, so I’m leaving this post up because of the discussions.
This is not a precedent to post random off topic stuff, though.

Apps and websites should just follow whatever the OS setting is, no matter the motivation of the user. Even if it’s just a matter of taste and not some form of eye sight condition, it’s just as valid.

woelkchen@lemmy.worldMto Fediverse@lemmy.world•Decentralized Instagram alternative Pixelfed launches mobile appsEnglish6·9 months agoLook, someone reported this as misinformation. Too bad me, the active mod here, gets pain in the eyes, sometimes flickering vision, and sometimes what I would describe as sea sickness from staring onto bright white screens. When I have no other choice because work, I invert all screen colors but sometimes correct colors are important.
So yeah, no proper dark mode means it’s a crap app.

Threads’s ActivityPub compatibility isn’t available in the EU. European Threads profiles cannot enable ActivityPub federation.

Please report that user and his communities to the admins of the instances he’s registered at. A quick look at the sidebars of both sh.itjust.works and lemm.ee would suggest that their admins banning him is a slam dunk.
Maybe ask at [email protected] and [email protected] what to do?
On the grounds of !fediverse not being a complaints forum, I’m going to lock this post.

They’re most likely talking about boosts, Mastodon’s version of Twitter’s retweets. Lemmy, I think, doesn’t implement boosts.
It doesn’t, making the posting to Lemmy completely pointless, even if it wasn’t a commercial experiment. Cross-posts don’t count as boosts.

Seems like your primary interest is to measure commercial reach and so far you made no argument to the contrary. I’m not against commercial content in the Fediverse. In fact, I’m in favor on giving users the choice what they follow and what they don’t follow but that question hasn’t been asked by you here. You just made your post and all ~30k subscribers here are the lap rats for your experiment.
Mastodon users mindlessly tagging entire Lemmy communities are a common annoyance and if your analytics tool is the same as in the past, it doesn’t even register any interactions from there anyway, making your experiment even more pointless but not really a pity to me that Lemmy is invisible to your advertisers:

You posted from that commercial domain, Wikipedia is non-commercial.
And this is a good way, I think.
That’s a weak argument for why your post isn’t spam. We here at Lemmy did not agree beforehand to participate in your experiment how far your commercial posts reach.

And by you, I mean a paid writer for Heise, a commercial business? Looks to me at best as a meaningless test post, at worst an unpaid ad for your employer.
How is this not spam and why should I not remove this from [email protected]?
PS: Note that merely downvoting is not an argument. Reply with an argument if you think that’s a worthwhile post to a Lemmy community.

Maybe. My home server is still on 0.19.3 because reasons: https://lemmy.world/post/23471887
