New? Nearby Share has been around for at least a year. The issue is no one knows about it, because as usual Google is horrible with branding.
They should have just called it "Google Beam" or something like that.

If there is one thing Google is committed to, it's being unstabally committed to all of its products.
Probably because the cat is already out of the bag there. Hard to reign them back in and they'd have tons of bad press if they do that.
For exactly the reasons you state - Google doesn't want ad blockers in their browser.
TWiT is definitely in trouble. The last time I listened to them, one of their advertisements was for... doing advertisements on TWiT. They were also pushing their subscription every chance they got.
Their whole network comes off as a bunch of boomers complaining about technology. I don't think they'll be around much longer.
It may be an isolated incident, but it would have been avoided had Lemmy confirmed the 2FA code before enabling it on the account. Like standard practice.
Besides, this issue refutes your entire premise - that automated 2FA set up is flawless.

It's an issue with many different authenticators, and it's an issue with the way Lemmy sets up its 2FA and doesn't do a confirmation afterwards. This needs to be fixed.
Except you didn't confirm your 2FA codes to enable 2FA. You also don't have backup codes you can download.
It may have worked for you, but that doesn't mean it's working properly.
Moving somewhere else? Where?
The only other options are back to Reddit, or somewhere else in the Fediverse. There aren't other options.
Funnily enough, people are already referring to "tweets" on Threads as "threats"
People do, but ease of use will trump it every time.
This is crazy. Google is delaying a competitor to Apple's network so Apple can support it better? Of course they're going to slow-walk it.
