    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:
