I am wowed by the amount of information.

I dislike the default Mastodon interface and use Elk instead.
Something different than the default active. Still experimenting.
Every game discussion. Starting roughly 24h after a game's release until decades later.
That communities, and unfortunately whole instances might turn to shit is more of a given. The big advantage is the switch would be a lot smoother. If reddit was a gargantuan instance, the loss would still be catastrophic, however the ecosystem would remain in tact. That is the user interface, the third party apps and so on. Right now everything is completely leveled and you need to start from scratch.
I would not agree with the general statement about FOSS. Some commercial products absolutely do edge out the free ones. And I am not sure it is only the limited funding, seeing the usability issues with Linux. I think Linus Tech Tips video series was a nice insight.
But for social platforms I do not even see a different way. FOSS is a must, especially with the inherent bias of algorithms. Commercial third party clients still could be beneficial.
It sounded here it did not work for some reason. I am using Firefox btw.
I am on lemmynsfw and for me it sticks to the subscribed tab.
If you have a link on that I would love to read upon that.
The tumblr drop in value was primarily with the NSFW ban as this was one of the main contents.
The HDD cartel can only be stopped with an international crackdown, with raids and laws. They constantly do shady stuff as the coordinated SMR scam.
I like it in general and think it has a chance to stay, however I feel it needs a bunch more work than Mastodon, which works close to a full release, except the oddity the Elk Alpha client doesn't have a report button, but is better than the default.
