Mastodon: @stonefrango@social.vivaldi.net
I felt this way about Twitter early on because Twitter for me was the third social media platform I ever experienced growing up, only with MySpace and Facebook before it.
It’s sad to see Reddit go this way, but my solace is that the communities that make Reddit will survive one way or another. I’m just hoping Lemmy sees a better adoption than Mastodon has so far. I want both to thrive but I’m especially hoping for Lemmy since I spend/spent more of my time on Reddit.
I’m not sure if I can link to posts from Reddit, but I believe it is on the ModCoord subreddit, top stickied post: https://www.reddit.com/r/ModCoord/comments/1401qw5/incomplete_and_growing_list_of_participating/
Sorry but as an added note, I don’t know if I’d say it “pulls” from here. This is just where the running list started.
I tried Pop!OS and I liked it a lot, but I wasn’t big on the built-in store for downloading apps as it felt a bit clunky to me. Still, it’s a solid option. Kubuntu was a pretty decent one too that I tried.
For me I found myself going back to Windows because of hardware incompatibility. I know that of course you either need to be really good at building compatibility yourself or scouring the Internet for a solution someone else already found, but unfortunately it was one of those cases where searching ended up with those results where it was from several years ago and they just said “I figured it out” without added context.
I think this point is really important, and allow me to go one step further: I work in the public sector of education and purchasing technology is such a complex issue that IT governance has to be involved with decisions like this. That’s to say that, without a governing body to review purchases (outside of whoever handles the actual procurement, i.e. funds leaving the bank account), mistakes like this will happen.
We can be upset with planned obsolescence, but there’s distinctly a human error here where there wasn’t enough research and planning.
