I can go into those points more, but suffice to say @iode@mastodon.online has a different value set and focus. BUT, iodé is certainly not known to the common person in the USA. In fact, also not known to the tech enthusiast crowd even if they also are not the biggest fans of the *other project*.
Brax did a co-lab with iodé on the Brax3 phone last year, and it *by far* got the largest sales numbers and exposure in the USA to date. But the hardware itself, while decent enough, isn't special.

You may also know of another France-based #deGoogle project that partners with Fairphone for USA sales. It is decent enough with a good community, and *very similiar* to @iode@mastodon.online but iodé is different in that there is no forking of upstream included apps just to re-brand (with risk of always being behind on re-basing and maintaining), no custom launcher that is pretty but not the most functional, and system updates (esp. major version upgrades) are applied much more rapidly with iodé. 4/
