The problem with Mastodon (ActivityPub) is that your identity is held hostage by your server admin. If your instance goes down or you have a disagreement with the mod, good luck moving. You can migrate followers, but you lose all your posts and history.

ATProto fixes this by decoupling your identity from the server, you can swap servers without losing anything.

Also, Bluesky has truly customizable algorithms instead of being forced into the chronological view or whatever the instance admin decided.

Sometimes I need to install obscure software that needs to be packaged manually. But in most cases I just use a VM for those

It’s an automatic downvote for not including NixOS, despite having other niche distributions on the list (what even is the one at C tier?). Also, Windows? That is not even closely related to the Unix family of operating systems, let alone a Linux distribution.

It’s sad that something as simple as installing a third-party app has become challenging in modern computing.

Or NixOS. I just opt for a VM these days.

Pro tip, just do:

Stop replying on U.S. companies for technologies that provide the backbone of our governments!
