It's the same concerns that get repeated over and over again, given how incredibly important Mozilla is and the good they do, giving undue weight to its flaws is unhelpful.

I think it gets boring, but I think the best response is to downvote it and move on. Pinning it draws attention to it.
It does go to show the necessity of adblocking software though. It's not just a trivial convenience at the expense of sites' ad-revenue, it's necessary for online safety.
It was ~20 years ago so my advice to myself then would be pretty irrelevant now. I messed up my laptop, and my advice then would have been don't start with a laptop (because laptop compatibility was lacking back then compared to desktop, different times).
Who knew Lemmy was so big in Estonia?
This means instance owners on Mastodon have certain privileges and can ban users.
Sure, but since anyone can own a mastodon instance this isn't unjust.
Does it even have a web version? It doesn't seem to be available for my Linux distro of choice, jumping through hoops to install some proprietary app would make it a massive fail.
By "established" what I really mean is it's already gone through the difficult part (i.e. while it's not dominant I think it's passed most of the hurdles that most attempted platforms have failed at). If something's going to do better than Mastodon, it's going to have to have something that people want that Mastodon doesn't have, which I'm not seeing here, but maybe I'm wrong.
What's wrong with Mastodon? It's already established.
Not to say you can't mention them, just avoid undue weight. Back on Reddit r/firefox turned in to a massive anti-Mozilla circlejerk which is the last thing we need when it's so important to encourage people to use Firefox.
