I have absolutely desire to lock myself into a flowered prison and pay extremely high price for it in both freedom and money. Apple just is too totalitarian and limited for me to consider anything from them.

One way I found out is that you can copy a link to a Lemmy community, e.g https://lemmy.ml/c/linux and paste it into Mastodon search bar and you can the follow it from Mastodon, same for user links. Similarly you can copy a post link from Lemmy and can comment and favourite it.

GNU/Linux (openSUSE Tumbleweed, KDE Neon, Gentoo, Arch/SteamOS on Steam Deck) all with KDE Plasma desktop. Because the KDE Plasma desktop is way ahead of anything I’ve ever used on proprietary OSes. Also in general GNU/Linux is leading both technically and ethically, as it is also being free (as in freedom) and opensource software, respects our privacy, and doesn’t bother you with ads.
