Imo mastodon feels a bit jankier than lemmy.
Bluesky is pretty cool. It's like twitter except it's not completely deranged
Tank-ism is basically the fanboy equivalent of politics.
They criticize right wing states and fail to see the failure of left wing states.
It's the inverse of MAGAites.
Tankies and MAGAites want you in the same concentration camps except they call them different names and they do it for different reasons.
I really appreciate these lists.
I would like to point out, however, that some of these distros are not that user friendly. Arch is notoriously not beginner friendly, endeavouros is slightly better but I would still not recommend if you are just fresh off the boat from Mac or Windows. Opensuse is great but its very professional based.
Pick a distro that works for you. If they are open sourced thats already most of the way there! Even devs based outside of the EU will likely share our gripes against the US's authoritarian shift and anti-big tech vibes.
Though not all tools here are FOSS. A lot of them are and I usually recommend it as a starting point.
