@LavenderPawprints also, to touch on the "running your own instance" thing...honestly, I don't think it would be good for you.
EVERYTHING is "opt-out". Meaning, since there's dozens of new instances every day, there's also a handful of bad ones every week. So you'd have to literally live on Fediblock and Fediseer and make sure to stay on top of Oliphant's updates.
It would be quite stressful, I think.
I don't even do all of those things because they're too much to keep up with. However, I am not a visually impaired transgirl with major depression, anxiety, and past addiction issues, if you know what I mean. Because of who you are, it would be harder because you're someone that people look to attack, and that's really unfortunate.😔

Consider also the lost concept of milestone releases and real versioning.
One of the aspects of the hell of FOSS is the constant micro updates in lieu of discrete updates.
It's like these alleged programmers just figure the nightly channel is stable so they push it to main every day.
I have a couple of Linux systems that are on spinning disks... and I cannot convey how incredibly slow they are at "basic" tasks like system updates.
It's "just leave it running" levels of slow, in a world where I've got used to not leaving things like that because the context switching isn't worth it.
[there is zero reason for these systems to have "good" root storage, they're off-site backup nodes, and have decent big storage instead]
This site definitely needs some usability updates.
It seems weird to me that this text box is so tiny!
Anyone have recommendations for browser extensions for Mastodon, kinda like "Reddit Enhancement Suite"?
