It definitely is a good choice for some people, I wouldn't give my mother in law an Android device.

But the iphone as a platform is inferior because it can do less (although Android is definitely headed in a similar direction)

You know those Irwin quick clamps that are very popular, blue and yellow quick release clamps. I have a bunch of them and they're fine.

I also have a bunch of "craftright" clamps. Same thing, but the clamping force feels so much higher, the Irwin clamps are what I use if I've run out of my cheap knockoff clamps

My double-brick house really suffers with WiFi, and I work from home so I almost permanently have an Ethernet cable to my office. My fiance has gotten used to it at this point

these platforms have the know how to deal with spam and they will be incentivised to share that tech with other federated instances.

Based on what? These private companies aren't going to share anything because they owe it to their shareholders not to.

I dont think any of your points are wrong, it's just the association with Facebook people are anti. The fediverse has a great reputation for being completely removed from profit motive driven mega corporations. Facebook joining is gonna make people question the fediverse is my understanding.

As an adult I'm only gaining more and more friends tbh. Sure some old ones are lost but a partner is no replacement for a few good friendship circles. If you're putting all your social needs on one person, that's a lot of pressure and they are unlikely to be able to fulfill that role, nor are you for them.

Your partner can be your best friend, but they shouldn't be your only friend

You seem to have no idea what communism is. You're just spouting classic anti-communist propaganda. I'd recommend doing some unbiased research.

Meanwhile, I'm happy to support the communists who give us a platform the users are in charge of, instead of a capitalist who earns money off the back of free labor from it's users

Damn I use 4 of these apps. I'm trying to cut Uber eats out of my life, but Spotify, Strava and SoundCloud will be a challenge.

Maybe an unpopular opinion but having a name for a Lemmy user is cringe.

What are you gonna ask someone at a party if they're a lemming? They're gonna look at you like wtf are you talking about.

It has big "the narwhal bacons at midnight" vibes.
