I'm also ok if both of them are posted here, as most people use android with Google Play Services (GMS). But I'm annoyed when the two used as a synonyms. E.g "Android will get a new XY feature" than I open the article and I see it will be a feature of GMS not mainline android.
On a basic news website, or even in a more casual lemmy community I wouldn't be bothered with this. But we should be a bit more professional in a dedicated android community, with less clickbaity titles.
BTW I use microG
This is what I'm saying. People just mix Google with android. Like even if google photos get a feature they say it's an android feature.
Yeah, your original post didn't include your reasoning. I wasn't sure if you were going for something like this or talking about the occasional Maps or GMail post, or just didn't know who's behind Android.
I think this isn't a community like the political ones where you argue and get banned. I think you can talk openly here. Best, include some reasons why you think something, and I think people will understand. A lot of us are in the same boat.
Lineage OS + microG for the win
GrapheneOS FTW
I went DivestOS, a fork of Lineage. I forget why, but I like it better.
Crdroid is nice too. Keeps my op7 looking good
I feel you,
I hoped more blogs articles, tips, hacks, underground news, related to android instead, any news clickbaits just to make contents.
