Do you want to go ahead and post this information about yourself like this? It's extremely uncomfortable. You can find people's physical location with IP addresses. You can stalk then. You can dox them. Once that info is out, it's impossible to take back.

That's a good way to put that person in a ton of harm for no reason
Another big advantage of Flatpaks is the portability, since they live in your home.
I've had to reinstall distros and swap to different ones a decent amount. I simply backup and restore my home dir, and all my flatpaks get carried over, appear in my app launchers, and usually have their app data saved so I don't even have to relogin/reconfigure to stuff. It's as if I had just closed and opened it again.
It's crazy this works even when completely swapping distros.

Happened to me where I felt loss if enjoyment over any game, that it felt like a waste of time and a chore. That eventually passed, definitely find them fun again.

Also these are privacy apps, not cyber security
The actual fedi experience for a non techy:
- Search Mastodon app
- Choose a Mastodon app, which one is the official, which one is the best, there's so many!
- Instances? Why can't I just sign up with Mastodon, what's going on?
- Okay, why are these all different rules, what does this mean, and why are they all different?
- What am I actually signing up for? Who owns this instance, which I don't understand the concept of? Will it randomly shut down?
- Who am I giving this personal data too?
- Okay, how do I find content, why is my feed so boring?
- Okay I clicked somebody's link and it takes me to a different website, why can't I like/reply/follow? Where am I?
At each one of these steps, there's a new learning curve. If it's not easy enough for your grandma, then it needs improvement.
This is very off topic but I like that mastodon is now a platform more commonly being used to share information like this. Although for their mobile UI, I really hope they get rid of the bar on the right, it's very odd.
That high barrier of entry is going to automatically keep out most non-techy people, and they tend to be a big source of entertaining content out there. Generally if you discount any bad UX as "takes only a bit effort to learn" that just means it's not user friendly and needs a lot of improvement.
I didn't even know a rice washing bowl existed. I just pour rice in my drainer, spray with water, then dump in my pressure cooker.
