WordPad was a fast and efficient way to view doc files without loading into LibreOffice or any other office suite, or to make rich text documents quickly. But alas, we have to go to the cloud for our notes now...

In my country nobody (or at least, most people don't) buy their own routers, it's always a subscription on top of the existing internet service

WTF? Until very, VERY recently it was a free extension. This shouldn't be allowed. But I understand that maintaining something as big as this requires a budget. What a shame. I only used it of a day and kinda ditched it afterwards, since it's not available on Revanced on mobile and I hoped it would be.
In our country, texting (through the built-in Messenger app) is mostly done as an emergency measure, as most people here use Meta's other messaging app, WhatsApp.
Or perhaps Web 3.1. But seriously, I would call it the Federated Web.
It's optional and only intended towards Premium users, but concerning nonetheless. This ID-gathering is probably not even regulated in a lot of countries - I haven't found any info on such regulation existing. And a migration is in fact happening - but it's more of just people being less interested in the new 'X' form of Twitter with all of its restrictions. That part of the cake is distributed between platforms like Mastodon/*key, Threads, Bluesky and Tumblr, not to mention Facebook still being a thing too.
Twitter, Tumblr and Bluesky seem to fill the Twitter void for me fairly well, as I am mostly participating in the Furry and Sonic communities which are some of the first to move to these platforms.
Lemm.ee is doing the right thing - instead of being super-safe and defederating from potentially bad instances just because they have bad actors, it's actually trying to moderate in a sensible way. Defederation should be a last resort - that makes the most sense.
That was the first thing I noticed.
Now that is an everything app I can get behind.
I see you're a person of culture as well... I know this reference.
