Well, in MS’s unwarranted defence, they’ve moved strategically well away from this under current leadership which has been much more profitable for them. The current strategy is to get into every single technology vertical, become a dependency for every single other company.
To anyone who used Linux once upon a time and got scared off - try it again. Nowadays so much works without any config, driver support is so much better and, at least with my last year using Fedora, it’s incredibly stable.

Precisely this. Leaving Reddit I am now seeking a home for discussing specific software libraries, sub-genres of music and cultivating specific types of plants. Am I to understand that Lemmy/Beehaw doesn’t offer this easily without setting up your own server? If so I see this as a massive showstopper for ongoing advancement of popularity.

I’m not asking this to bitch, what is here right now is amazing and great and highly virtuous choices of new communities but I am questioning if Lemmy is the answer to what are my own current interests from a new community platform.

I’d just like to commend you on your choice of language here. You’re more diplomatic than most politicians! Well expressed and I support the principals you put forward.
