Is the Android community still alive in any social network? Every time I ask about this people say it’s mostly BlueSky but I see people highly inactive here. I wonder if I’m not following the right people

I think there's a general burnout with social media. People here seem to be taking it slow and are just generally disinterested in the pissing contest that is the norm on X

As I said, I think it's a lot of social burnout. I see people more active in smaller, semi-private circles. And of course, what the X-shittification diaspora did not do, AI has now done. I feel like in general it's been several years the old guard has grown out of it and there is no new guard coming

It is not even a new thing. It probably traces back to COVID being a moment for visible people in the community to detach from the frenzy and many never really getting back into it. There are huge holes left behind. Nobody new to fill them.

I think there are lots of new Android devs but maybe not a sense of community or networking. They don’t gather like we did. Times change and the way people interact also does. As long as Android phones are massively used there will be Android devs
