  • The advantage of being Ubuntu-based is faster updates.

    The drawback is Snap, but it can be disabled.

    Therefore, I think Pop and Mint should continue being so and doing that.

    On a side note :

    CalVer might be better for a more general audience

    I disagree with this nevertheless, because when users learn what major/minor/patch mean, they can better understand how developers work and why should they upgrade.

    Also, coincidentally but relevantly, CalVer is an homonym of the French calvaire which means misery.





  • I’m not even sure what blogging is, much less microblogging

    It’s simple, actually : blogging is posting large content, microblogging is posting short content (hence micro).

    That’s why Mastodon is microblogging, for example : because their character limit is 500.

    https://writefreely.org/ might be the fediverse blogging platform you’re looking for

    It would be, except it doesn’t allow any interaction between authors and readers, making federation almost pointless, it also lacks attachments hosting and other blog stuff.

    There’s also Plume, which has slightly more features, but still lacks a lot, isn’t actively developed and is currently suffering from massive spam.

    So, to conclude, there currently isn’t any interesting federated blogging platform.
