Unfortunately it seems supporting Linux natively is pretty quickly moving target

With the container-based approach of the Steam Linux Runtime this should no longer be a problem. Games can just target a particular version and Steam will be able to run it forevermore.

And this is due to Valve's big investments in Proton, Steam Deck and the new Steam hardware to get game compatibility working from both the Linux/Wine side as well as making game developers aim for compatibility.

the pervasive myth that conservative voices are somehow being censored or silenced, despite lots of evidence that conservative rage-bait gets disproprotionately more distribution on recommendation algorithms

It can be true that both conservative content gets more widely shared AND that they're still being censored.

There were countless high-profile conservatives banned from pre-Musk Twitter, YouTube and other social media. Likewise there's clear and obvious cases of conservative content being silenced like Donald Trump's interview on Joe Rogan kept off the YouTube trending page as the most recent example.

But these are specific cases, you claim there's lots of evidence that conservatives on the whole get more distribution. I'm not sure I believe that without seeing your purported evidence, but even if studies proved that were the case it doesn't negate the fact that simultaneously there's a large amount of conservatives being censored on top of that, preventing their distribution from going even further.

Because you're missing the context of what's actually happening in the UK such as ULEZ making travel more expensive (thus monetarily restricting your movement) and councils implementing 15-minute city-aligned schemes which also limit movement.

The main thing Lemmy is missing for adoption is a good desktop and/or mobile app.

Since instances can defederate with each other it's often not possible to follow all your favourite communities from one account. So a good app needs to decouple this and enable follow any community without having an account, and instead store following data in the client.
