Maybe here specifically. But there are a lot of real people (mostly young women and teenagers but not exclusively) that would never consider coming to Lemmy or even reddit when that was a thing, who refuse to get close to anyone that doesn’t have the “blue” text
Meanwhile on Reddit /r/apple regularly makes frontpage and /r/technology /r/gadgets only make frontpage if it’s related to apple. And windows and Microsoft news is barely ever relevant
Makes sense as iPhones beat Android in market share in the US, and there is only one manufacturer compared to half a dozen for Android phones. I just think the “omg apple worshipping fanboy” thing is a bit outdated. Most people don’t care that much.
