It's honestly the best of both worlds. A well built and tested hardware platform with well known specs and manufacturer support, that's capable of running any third party software at the drop of a hat
Almost like using a single giant wiper is a bad idea
Bbbbbbbut it looks cool!
Can't wait for them to never roll it out
Kagi summary:

- Early app successes helped drive more users, phones, developers and apps in a reinforcing cycle that grew the app economy exponentially.
- Popular early apps filled gaps in Android's capabilities in areas like weather, file management, flashlights as built-in features were still being developed.
- Later apps brought extra abilities beyond necessities, like music streaming, ebooks, games, social media and more.

- Over 100,000 apps were available by mid-2010 and over 3.5 million apps today on Google Play.
- We now take app discovery, updates, and the overall app experience for granted due to how well app stores do their job.

If only there was some extensible protocol for exchanging messages and presence information.

Think about all the dimwits, grifters, and douchebags on Instagram. Think about how shitty front page reddit posts were. Do you want that here?
If you don't trust the reddit admins, why do you think that they wouldn't keep a history of your comments, and just revert the gibberishification?
Thing about Lemmy is, since its federated, and fully opensource, even if it doesn't right now, adding an accessible interface is trivial. Be it through forks/pull requests, separate clients or frontends, or as a full-fledged federated peer focused on accessibility
