If you go to snapcraft.io, you can see snap being installed on many other distributions other than Ubuntu. It will not show you the exact numbers, but people willingly install it on their machines. I think that's successful.
What is the "general sentiment" tho? Sure, on Lemmy and Reddit communities I usually see people hate Snaps, but that's just a few thousands of people. Another metric of success could be developers maintaining their software as snaps. You will find that quite a lot of them do so.
I can respect this, though just because they've released the source code it doesn't mean that what's in the repositories is actually running on the servers. It happened before, and while it is not a big deal, we can't know what is precisely running on there at all times. And the stock Signal app doesn't allow federating with other signal servers out there, so personally I don't care whether the server side has a published source code.
Yeesh, imagine getting this mad because of a post about a messenger. I hate explaining memes because it ruins them, but I guess I have no choice.
When most people hear about Threema, they believe that 5€ is way too much to pay for a messenger. Some realize that 5€ is not that bad, but without a continuous stream of money, a service like this will cease to exist once it runs out of money, so it's better to avoid it. And if they read the entire website, and discover that the company is actually providing messaging solutions used by a lot of companies who pay them monthly, for each of their employees, it becomes clear where the money is coming from, and that the company won't go bankrupt anytime soon.
That's the meme. If you don't like it, I understand. But you can fuck right off with calling everything that mentions a name of an app/service as an ad. I made memes in the past mentioning open source chat apps, and nobody ever called it an ad.
I literally thought about this while eating spaghetti. And then I proceeded to contact Brave and we signed a deal where they agreed to send me thousands of dollars to make this ad, I mean a meme, and only post it on a single lemmy community.
It's an attempt to parody the meme format where people take two similarly looking characters and put Science Blaster (Game Theory's theme song) in the background, implying that the two characters are the same. Such as this one.
I don't care if anyone has a Xiaomi, Oneplus, Samsung, etc. Each brand is using a modified version of Android, and they chose to be compatible with each other. But for example the "blue vs green bubble" drama is a thing specifically because of Apple locking their unsuspecting users into a closed ecosystem. And it sure isn't...

I mean seriously, I would never expect so much functionality even from a paid proprietary software. This is truly amazing.
