There have been a few stories about some companies getting punished for not going along with this plan of selling this private information. Like I think Qwest for example. This was over a decade ago, so I don't remember all the details that clearly.

Reddit back before mods and subs and everything was self-moderated was certainly peak reddit. You're nuts if you think that will ever happen again.
I think most of them I'd be using on windows as well. Like blender, gimp, krita, librewolf, libreoffice, thunderbird, virtualbox, etc.. etc.. etc.. Although it was 15 years ago I had switched to mostly open source applications in the years prior to eventually switching to linux entirely.
Gimp is a quality program... but I agree that it is hard to relearn when you've gotten use to photoshop for almost 3 decades.
Although Krita is a high quality illustration program. I try harder to motivate my self to learn that.
There is also abiword for a relatively lighter weight word processor that handles doc files. Although I also lean to using a text editor most of the time. Right now my favorite is kate.

I like this idea. It reminds me of what reddit was like for the first 3 years before subs and mods were introduced.
meh.. the same problem exists on reddit.
Not really... they just choose the more popular one and don't think anything more about it.
Lets hope not.
Reddit went downhill real fast when the DIGG exodus happened.
In the long run forking is a good thing. If there isn't enough interest then the "problem" will take care of itself. This is foss after all.
I once bought a metal wash tub, put it on my porch, added sand, rocks, plants, fish and water... and called it a pond. It is pretty easy to do.
Anything that will hold water for a couple weeks will have tadpoles in it pretty quick.
