   @fu @pixelherodev @RL_Dane Because I've missed a good deal of this...remind me why we dislike systemd? (I'm unfamiliar with the nuances)

     Sure about that? AFAIK, there's no way to do systemd-less #Debian without some MAD hacking.

     @pixelherodev @grueproof

     Fair ;)

     I just really loved Debian (hence the avatar), so I tried that.

     @RL_Dane @grueproof I'll be honest: Devuan does not interest me. It used to - I ran it for a bit - but they're just... they talk a lot, let's say.

     There's a number of systemd-free distros. Most of them don't consider that their *only redeeming quality*.

     @grueproof

     So many cool things going on:

     #PeerTube: building a video network based on trust, not algorithms. I'm putting my money where my mouth is on this one: going to take my $11.99/no and contribute it to FOSS content creators and platforms
     #NetBSD: still supporting m68k in 2022 — that's amazing!
     #Devuan: keeping Linux systemd-free (if you're into that)
     #Kodi: looking forward to being rid of proprietary TV
     #Mastodon: we're just getting started!
     #OpenBSD: Unix by people who love Unix

     @grueproof I know I'm in the minority here but GNU Social. I've been an FSF member for well over a decade, but I have never been involved directly with GNU project before, so ta-da!

     @grueproof @fu @pixelherodev

     To me, it's millions of lines of monolithic*, unaudited code, designed to basically replace 90% of Linux userspace.
     No thanks.

     *I know it's not ONE program, but it's designed in a pretty interlocking way, and it's making it increasingly hard to use Linux without it.

     It feels really forced and kinda SUS, tbh

     @RL_Dane May I be so bold to grab this opportunity and share a newer version of a famous copypasta: https://fosstodon.org/@retronav/109280612619546865
