@adi @prologic I noticed 😋 Cheers dude. I don't mind too much who sees or doesn't see the Lagrange one because its so niche, but I really do want to get awareness about UnifiedPush. I think it's about time we make really workable solutions to all the things Google has their tendrils in.
@eldersnake Agreed! 💯 On notifications though, I _personally_ tend to find them annoying and distracting. We made a decision long ago never to support "notifications" on Yarn.social; and I _believe_ we're sticking to that decision 🤔 But otherwise in general, yes I agree, getting Google's tendrils out of everything they have their hands in is a good positive step for all.

@eldersnake @prologic I'm neither anti nor pro Google but less bloat and privacy friendly solutions are always welcome.
@prologic No I agree with you regarding notifications generally. I personally don't miss them too much, but the dependence on Firebase Cloud Messaging goes so deep that even apps you might expect to get notification on like emails or messaging will not come through, or best case scenario depending on the app, very delayed, if Google Services are not present.
@eldersnake @prologic The big problem here then is users that are going the alternative DeGoogled route might get frustrated and throw their hands in the air and just default back to Google Services. This restores push notifications, but also includes a bunch of other telemetry and tracking that we know Google uses. The MicroG project is definitely the next best thing, but still, some connection has to go to Google, even though MicroG tries to anonymize it as much as possible
