Though I know what this is for, but I am against blocking VPNs and Tor since it prevent privacy-conscious people like me and other people such as dissents or other having high risks of like harassment online.

The instances being affected the most are those with open registration, and don't block registration from temporary email providers, and have don't have like automatic filter or using Fediverse softwares not providing such.

Though given Lemmy development may not support blocking registration by emails or filtering keywords or filtering federation of very new accounts/new account having no profile, manual approvement registration or applying bots filtering repeating spams may be enough without blocking VPNs or Tor I think

Well, EU at least isn't compromised like US governments, and still have some sense and its bureaucracy have some senses to prevent Big Tech taking over them, but because of the same bureaucracy and lack of and unwilling to look at opinions from the tech experts, many of their decisions are well, facepalm-worthy such as their upcoming root certs (like you said above) and CRA.

It's not Linux or SteamOS, but both Epic and CD Projekt don't support their store client apps and launchers on Linux sadly, such we have to use unofficial ones such as Heroic Game Launcher

At least Discourse's softwares are open source, and it as well as many other companies having plans joining Fediverse don't have a long history of EEE, supporting or letting extremists exist on their platforms and rampage,... like Meta. Meta has a long history of bad deeds so they would get any benefit of doubt.

There are, actually. Since Misskey's culture are different from Mastodon's, they have been implementing more features than Mastodon from the start, and Misskey's APIs are different from Mastodon's so there will be many weird quirks when accessing Mastodon (even weirder if it's a Mastodon fork such as Glitch-soc, Hometown, Fedibird,... since they use older Mastodon versions as base) instances from Misskey instances (though Firefish devs are improving this by implementing Mastodon APIs and several Mastodon features). Also note that Misskey caters more Japanese users more than Mastodon, people who aren't familiar with Japanese culture may also even Misskey userbase and features odd and different as well

However it's currently difficult for games made for Godot to port to consoles (XBox, PlayStation, Nintendo Switch,... not those non-Switch "gaming handhelds" since they are all just Windows/Linux handheld PCs) while keeping Godot open source since the SDKs, APIs, porting kits of these consoles are proprietary and you have to sign in NDAs. If most of your games' revenues are from consoles, you don't have much choice currently.

Honestly, given that there are many flaws in desktop Linux security, awareness of people about desktop Linux need to be parallel with better security practices : https://madaidans-insecurities.github.io/linux.html https://privsec.dev/posts/linux/linux-insecurities https://privsec.dev/posts/linux/desktop-linux-hardening/ I just hope that when people are more aware of desktop Linux, developers then need to be more aware of security and use available platforms or components with security in mind such as Flatpak, Wayland, MAC, Pipewire,... and kernel developers should have cared more about industry security practices, and please don't give ideological reasons there.

Lemmy seems somewhat confusing to those who rarely or never used Fediverse (myself also rarely use Mastodon tho), but after I short while I get the hang of it tho. My instance is at lemmy.world, Its UI after a time trying is quite unstable; for example, a post's karma is fluctuating at time, sometimes from over 1k drop down to negative, and upvotes aren't recognized until you reload the page, the amount of time to post of login can be very long,...
