Also excited for this. I tried KDE before but I didn’t find it easy to configure (too manually for a declarative guy like me). I like more the simplicity of Gnome.
Ehm… Elliot uses Gnome.
The different servers, having to remember other people’s instances along with their username.
This is just like email, I see no problem here.
I think the problem is about the mindset and the onboarding experience. We’ve used too much proprietary products and prefer something easy and not too much diverge from the norms. Recently, I tried to advertise Mastodon and Lemmy to my non-techie friends, which are using X and Reddit. Some did try but gave up. They said they didn’t understand the concept, and didn’t want to bother with choosing an instance in the first place, because they didn’t understand the federation concept. It’s just hard to explain the benefits of the fediverse to non-techie people.
The type of people that the fediverse attracts are FOSS users.
I have the same observation as your view. Current fediverse communities are heavily towards tech. Some of my friends joined but gradually left because they had a few to no interactions or no interesting people in their interested areas to follow.
Unpopular opinion: just type “Massive Win”. What’s wrong with it?
Gitlab used to be cute, small, and innovative (as in open). But now it’s too bloated. Gitlab CI is not well designed and half-baked.
That’s interesting to know. Maybe that’s why add-ons don’t work in Firefox iOS or iPad OS.
Second. Up-to-date packages and stable at the same time.

Default Brave blocks ads more aggressively than default Firefox. Of course you can achieve that with Firefox + uBlock Origin, but add-ons are not available on iOS and iPad OS.
That’s just my experience. I still use Firefox + Firefox Focus BTW. To block more aggressively, I also use VPN + Adguard Home.
I actually prefer that—a simple messenger without gifs and stickers, just plain text.
I’m not promoting WhatsApp in this case though. It’s one thing it’s done right, besides end-to-end encryption.
Yes, you can filter by almost any country in the world.
Not OC, but I’m using Kagi and super happy. Before I use Kagi, I didn’t realise how bad Google result is poisoned by ads and SEO nowadays.

I hate Google but they gave us Go, Kubernetes. I hate Amazon but they gave us AWS. I plainly hate those companies, but adore the brilliant engineers that work there.
AWS (Route53 specifically). Not common but my personal lab runs on AWS so it’s nice to have a place for everything.
insert Thanos stone meme.
We self host an instance to share knowledge about self-hosting that instance.
Wow you’re self-hosting a password manager! Don’t you feel scared if something went wrong?
I’m also running Adguard as my DNS-level adblocker on my Pi 3. Feels way more content than Pihole.
