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?

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
