If you want blogs, I recommend you use gemini: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gemini_(protocol)
Download Lagrange and begin browsing. It's basically a small-web of personal blogs.
I thought Gigablast was a one-man company? Yet it had good search results and it was expansive.
My posts and comments are already exposed, so it seems like it would make sense to make votes public as well. I think it contributes to the general spirit of the platform.
Bandcamp is all about indie and new technology, so I think it will be far easier to replace than Spotify, that has agreements with diverse studio records, for example.
Linux is better than ever, but it is conflicting with Windows more than ever also. Changing between SSDs simply broke Debian for me. Anyway, Steam is doing an awesome job with compatibility, the games work much better than 2 years ago.
Bringing Flatpak to Slackware is a very inspiring endeavor that brings Linux data independence to another level.
I like Lemmy's culture better. It isn't perfect, and maybe someday I'll create my own instance. And I can do that.
I agree that the hashtag scheme is bad. It attracts people that want to self-promote or bots.
I think it's related to the rise of China's BYD.
