I don't fully understand how to pick an instance to be honest.

Are the main things: operations, moderation, and federated instances?

I do recognize you and do peruse those posts from time to time. :)

I appreciate the suggested pivot in tone:

The fediverse still confuses me at times: choosing an instance to join, finding communities, subscribing to communities, and staying logged in have all been problems I have. I came originally for ergonomic keyboards, joined a few more communities and found that I can visit daily and see a page of interesting and relevant posts (after constantly logging in again).

I still visit both Reddit and lemmy.world. I really want fediverses and community owned instances to become mainstream. I'm really tired of enshittification and mis-moderation of Reddit and Facebook, which is why I'm here. So to see a massive mishandling of moderator powers here, without the result removing the moderator which I think is appropriate in this case, is a huge setback for me. A moderator of lemmy.world single-handedly disenfranchised an entire community. That sucks. And not only did it suck there in /c/vegan, but now even the comments here people are continuing the argument. Just really twisting that knife of disenfranchisement into the broader community.

Fortunately, I can explore joining a different instance and avoid lemmy.world communities; something I can't do with Reddit or Facebook.

Don't forget the obviously non-invasive european starling and european house sparrow common at feeders. /s

I bought a built one from ZSA.

I think fedora would survive this abuse. It doesn't replace when you install kernels, but instead adds it.

Windows Me, Windows Vista, Windows 8, and Windows 11. These are all bad iterations of Windows.

Myth: That this year, the year 2024, is indeed and finally the year of the Linux desktop.

I'm grieved by the opposite: people that cover or go past the crosswalk and then stop.
