There's always nushell. It's fairly new, not quite to 1.0 yet (0.96.1 at time of writing), but the constant breaking changes seemed to have stopped. It hits all your points and it's quite fun to use when writing scripts. Bonus that it's also pretty much tailor-made to manipulate data.

Apple.

I uses to be a huge Apple fan pre-2010. Everything worked, was smooth, wasn't Windows, and it was fun trying out the terminal despite it being pretty useless for most things on Mac.

At the new decade is when it felt like Apple was becoming what it is today: a walled garden with priority of mobile devices at the detriment of Macintosh. Started to really look at Linux as an alternative (only tried Ubuntu in a VM around the time of Unity coming out) early 2010s, but didn't make the full leap until around 2013 when I installed Linux Mint and got a Raspberry Pi to begin to mess around with. Now I solely run a mix of Debian and Void on all my machines and I couldn't be happier.

Infinity will also be able to be compiled with a personal API key. That means though that it'll be limited to 10 calls per minute and no NSFW posts, and allegedly Reddit won't like it, but I've been testing it out and it seems to work fine.

The absolute hypocrisy of sh.itjust.works banning lemmygrad, a communist instance dedicated to the working people of the world and the antithesis of fascism, yet allowing the potential for fascists to find a community on their server.

I'm just glad NBC will use his commentary as well as he's one of the few I can stand

That's how I always envisioned Lemmies to eventually grow, with each instance acting as a hub for a topic. Given the federated platform it makes perfect sense and allows for organized sub-communities.

startrek.website already exists, as does lemmygrad.ml and lemmyrs.org. Each as its own hub where communities can be split up in areas as memes, discussion, etc. based on what the instance requires.

For Matrix, I'd recommend conduit over synapse, with the expectation that all of synapse's features haven't yet been added (most notably support for spaces, which may or may not be a dealbreaker).

It's incredibly easy to set-up and very lightweight. I never self-hosted synapse due to how resource-heavy it is, and constantly had issues with dendrite racking up resources as well.conduit has honestly been the easiest thing I've self-hosted.

There are such easy ways to combat this vile shit, but the league nor many clubs want to go there. They just don't care enough as they get to profit off of those matchgoers

In short, Lemmy is free and open source software licensed under a copyleft license. It is "owned" by anyone who has contributed to the software, must remain open source - meaning the code must always be available - which means companies cannot profit off it.

Some corporate structure cannot take the code, change it, and hide it in order to create some for-profit Lemmy, as it is against the legal licensing. Any changes made to the code must be made public as well. Anyone can spin up their own Lemmy instance.

Copyleft licenses like the GPL protect the users from capitalist profit motive as best as it can under capitalism. It can never be taken over, controlled, or made into an IPO to satisfy investors. It's entirely controlled by its communities!

People who complain about "censorship" and "authoritarianism" while espouting the benefits of "freedom of speech" are exactly the type of people you don't want around.

If there's been discussion on lemmy.ml about this topic, I haven't gotten around to seeing it. But from what I've noticed from witnessing this type of discussion all over the web is that these calls always come from either the most reactionary users or enablers i.e. those that would rather sit on the sidelines and either let it happen or put up a weak front because they have a right to "free speech."

Unfortunately, this libertation-esque ethos runs deep in so many online spaces, where they'd rather have vague notions of freedom that obviously benefit them at the expense of others. Spaces like lemmy are not for them, and while there's nothing lemmy can do about it, going against the grain and purging that type of vitriol is the best way to keep it from turning into the shitholes ranging from Reddit's "enlightened centrism" to outright fascist spaces like *chans or gab.
