As a linux user if 25+ years, you’re off on a bad foot with me from the beginning.

The base idea of ActivityPub is that we can’t let things get too big, because that draws attempts to takeover the userbase. There are already organized efforts beginning on Mastodon to mass defederate from any server (maston.social) that get’s to 51% of the total userbase because it would be an existential threat to all of ActivityPub if that happened.

Oh, there’s a Home Assistant crossposter on Lemmit too at !homeassistant@lemmit.online . Without Reddit or Twitter I have felt very out of the loop on Home Assistant

This is one of the two subs I frequented and miss because there isn’t an active fediverse alternative. The other is r/taskmaster

When I worked in a college computer lab in the early 00’s we joked that the more secret you want a piece of info to be, the larger the font you should use when you post on the lab door.
