Yeah, as much as I hope that the fediverse can take off and replace reddit - I cannot fully leave reddit as I do still need it sometimes to ask questions on specific niche topics, as you said. And yeah, I haven’t tried matrix (or element) yet, as I haven’t much had a need for it yet - but from what I hear it does its job pretty well. (And yeah it’s open source and federated)

I agree, so many people disregard Debian, but if you’re not gaming and don’t need to keep up with the latest things - Debian is rock solid and most of your packages you can just use flatpak. For the majority of daily users who aren’t gaming, I think it’s a super solid choice.
