I could also call it the "Linux struggle"
"Windows and Microsoft spy on you, it breaks, it's heavy, its hardware requirements are too hard, windows updates...

you could try Linux, you can even game on it nowadays.

naaah it's too complicated. Anyway, gotta edit the registry to disable a feature"

I've got a dual boot currently, with windows exclusively for gaming and ubuntu for everything else. Would love to fully switch to linux, but some games still don't work on it, and then there's gamepass of course, which likely never will.
It IS too complicated tho. I consider myself pretty techy, but my Linux experience, just trying to do basic things like downloading a program, became a long chain of troubleshooting and installations of dependecies and searching online for answers.
Sadly, it got me REAL turned off Linux. I love the concept of it, but at the end of the day, I just want something that works.
It truly baffles me that anyone at all is still on the platform formerly known as twitter at this point.
Twitter is just furry porn now.
It'd honestly be hilarious if instead of the "free speech" right wing hellscape elon is trying to make, it just became the number 1 furry community on the internet.
It already is
I miss it so bad. I try to make Mastadon work but it just doesn't without the people I want to hear from. Just having bots echo what those accounts say along with the lack of interaction makes it less fun.
I've just learned to follow smaller accounts with similar interest. As a celebrity follow machine, it's awful because nobody is really on there officially except for a handful of people.
Hashtags are much more important on Masto too cause without an algorithm, its one of the only ways your posts are visible to others. I find with the right combo of tags though, I can get a decent amount of interaction.
There was a good solid week where most of my attention was focused on Mastodon. I guess it all depends on what you were originally using twitter for. I guess it clicked for me cause I barely used twitter to begin with.
