So, I will be getting a new Pixel 7a tomorrow most likely.

It is a one month old device apparently in Mint condition, with ~$100 cheaper price, should I go for it?

I currently use a Pixel 3 XL, which I bought on Day 1 so I am thinking it is time to upgrade. Anything I should know before I go through with it?

So, just for me to understand, are you going to edit rule 2, or are you going to remove this post?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

We're keeping rule 2 as-is so folks can decide for themselves whether they want to see the content. But considering there are already a number of responses on this one, we'll keep it up. Otherwise, we try to catch them early enough to direct the OP to [email protected] (we understand folks are still figuring Lemmy out and may not be aware of the sidebar rules due to their particular app).

Seems a bit confusing to be honest, would be more consistent to remove rule 2 until there is enough content to enforce it again.

Just my 2 cents

Definitely appreciate the input. It's generally difficult to change a community's focus down the line. We're ultimately trying to bring more folks over from the subreddit, so aspiring to achieve parity on the content front is important from the get-go. Not doing so risks having the people who dislike tech support posts avoid the community (or Lemmy) altogether.

Keeping them separated is more work for mods, but should help ensure the option is there for folks on all sides. It should become less confusing for folks pretty soon.

Both approaches have their pros and cons, to be honest. Let's see how things evolve
