I, for one, haven't had to look at laptop manufacturers for nearly a decade because my Thinkpad is still running Linux without a problem.

Aside from political reasons (which are valid!), what makes those manufacturers worth choosing over a Thinkpad?

Lemmy has had a huge bias towards seize-the-means-of-production socialism from day 1, which is very important in understanding why it's different from other reddit clones, and why it has unique features and anti-features. The political orientation is not incidental, it's vital, and I'm glad to see it hasn't completely died from the sudden influx of reddit-natives when the API thing happened.

And they were federated when the reddit exodus happened, so thousands of people landed and saw THE TANKIE INSTANCE with russian and chinese characteristics and freaked out.

And honestly, I can't blame any non-general instance for defederating when a sizable bunch of users are very trigger-happy with spamming PPB on other instances.

Sad to see slrpnk there, they were a personal favourite of the small early instances.

The only annoying thing about ones like lemmy.world defedding is that I can't post to niche communities like /c/jpegxl that were founded there for no particular reason.
