There might be some changes that could improve it further:
- ~~Remove Brave~~
- ~~Maybe add Signal; It's easier than Element, but it's also centralized~~
- Stop suggesting Linux Mint specifically
- Recommend Hosted Nextcloud
- ~~Add GrapheneOS~~
- Maybe add Delta chat
- ~~Maybe remove Bluesky~~
- ~~Remove Stremio and add Jellfyin (even though it's selfhosted and not a direct equivalent)~~
- ~~Add ente because Immich is selfhosted~~
- ~~Add aurora~~
- ~~Add SearxNG~~
- Add SimpleX
- Add lichess
- Add pCloud
Any other suggestions?

There are Nazis at the head of Lemmy instances. Because it isn't centralized it's very easy to deal with.
When there is a centrally controlled social media and a Nazi takes over, it is a huge problem and requires a large amount of social effort to solve.
Bluesky could be purchased by Elon (or the current owner may decide they prefer the alt right by this time next year) and then we'd be in the same situation.
The weakness in Twitter and Bluesky is central control. Elon just provided a very poignant example as to why.
Don't use Bluesky and also delete Twitter. Don't support the idea of a single person or entity controlling the social lives of everyone else.
