This is pretty much where I’m at.
Discord is where tight knit social circles are.
Youtube is where I watch content from large creators I follow.
Lemmy is where I can follow public discussions about a variety of topics.

I have a Mastodon account and I like the instance, but it unfortunately fails to really deliver any of the 3 things I mentioned above.

I recently switched to Windows 10 LTSC (from Windows 10). Would recommend that as well to people looking to avoid Windows 11.

I’m not if it’s really any easier to find and install than the other debloat methods out there, but I thought it was pretty simple.
