If you have a VPS with dedicated IP they you (and only you) have used for a while, would it still be blacklisted?

Well, people like to think that the fediverse is a genuine threat to Meta. And they like to feel they're doing important work defending it from Meta. So this will indeed pop up again, and again, and again.
I wouldn't say there's a place to start. Once you start using programs that are configured through config files, learn about those config files in particular. Eventually, you might find that you prefer editing config files even for programs that have GUI settings - then you dive in more.
Regardless, once your config files become complex enough that you can't quickly rewrite them if necessary, start looking for a dotfiles manager, tracking them in git, backing them up, etc...
Actually, there are many programs that are designed to be configured by editing the config files. It's not a "very unusual" case.
Actually, both Arch and NixOS are pretty reliable, and won't just break out of nowhere, leaving your computer unusable.
I think NixOS is awesome, but it certainly doesn't offer "access to (basically) all Linux-capable software, no matter from what repo." - at least not natively. You can do that through containers, but you can do that with containers on any distro. Where it shines is declaring the complete system configuration (including installed programs and their configuration) in its config file (on file-based configuration, I wouldn't really consider blendos a viable competitor).
You could put users in the same group, and give some folders group permissions.
To me, the smaller userbase is actually a real problem. I'm willing to stick it out and hope it grows. But for over half of the subreddits I subscribe to, the corresponding lemmy communities have 0 posts this last week.
Yes, I don't need 10k comments on my posts. But memes or mainstream news was never the big value of reddit for me - I can get these anywhere. Instead it is about the niche communities with a few thousand subscribers. And for now, I still have to use reddit for them.
What do you mean thousands at a very gradual rate? I don't think I've sent 1000 emails offer the last year. And even if some people send more, I can't imagine it would be at a pace where that becomes a problem (at least if it's for personal use)...
