Since Brandon Sanderson's Secret Project #3 came out on Saturday morning (Yumi and the Nightmare Painter) that's what I'm reading for the next week.

Probably Life is Strange. It did a lot for me in my mid-late 20s.

Congrats! My partner is currently waiting to get tested for ADHD after realising at the age of 34 that maybe she has it and it's not just other problems or incompetence.

I do believe that Mastodon supports Elasticsearch/Opensearch OOTB, so you're not wrong on NoSQLs being fediverse compatible.
Personally I haven't looked into the kbin stack so I can't give an opinion as to why psql is used over X.

100% because the tankie thing.
A long-time believer of "you can't separate art from the artist".

I really like the concept (I'm a serial game restarter, so a shorter stellaris experience sounds great), but it's focused on multiplayer/is multiplayer exclusive so I won't be touching it.

I, like many of the other replies, feel quite the same. Although I think the highlight of this for me is just how less aggressive and how much more receptive and open to discussion people have been. tbf i still mostly lurk but I've commented more here in a few days than I have in the final few years I was on reddit.

...seek towards creating healthier and way less toxic communities anyways

this is the main thing I want from a "reddit alternative", but since all the kbins/lemmys are being treated as "reddit alternatives" I really don't see this happening

creating magazines (and other subreddit analogues) with poor "humour" titles like those "X-masterrace" ones.
