    Read the room, it’s not a “good move”, it’s a dick move against !android@lemmy.world mods who built this community when r/Android was radio silent about us and never helped, it’s disrespectful. It’s only now after they saw Redditors migrating to Lemmy that they thought they should join too, but only by launching a tiny duplicate community because it hurts their ego to let go of their mod positions and join an already established Android community. What adds insult to injury is that they come here and astroturf as if !android@lemmy.world doesn’t exist, hoping to absorb its users.

      Can you explain what the controversy is about? So the /r/Android mods tried to start an Android community on the fediverse but other people got to them first? How are they astroturfing?

        • r/Android never mentioned Lemmy before when they could have made use of the blackout to introduce people to Lemmy;
        • never mentioned nor helped !android@lemmy.world, and instead preferred to launch a tiny community much later on with the exact same goals and content just so that they can preserve their imaginary mod “powers”;
        • waited until !android@lemmy.world grew sufficiently big and until the fear of missing out kicked in, and then decided to advertise inside this community for there being “finally” an Android community on the Fediverse, still completely gaslighting !android@lemmy.world here and on r/Android;
        • the low effort advertisement in OP’s post acting as if we’re not already on a much larger and well-established Android community:
