I understand, and it’s a great thing that we all can decide our experience. About the maker community, I guess the other option is to just create it and see what happens. If beehaw is defederated with many other instances, it would limit potential spread (again, this might be a desired outcome), but maybe it would fit in here: https://discuss.tchncs.de/communities or a similar instance?
I would be interested in a maker community, right now I’m subscribed to various niche ones like lasercutting, microcontroller, etc.
The founder of GNOME, Miguel de Icaza, stopped using Linux in favor of macOS in 2014 iirc. That makes me guess that the macOS design was at least acceptable to him. Maybe the visions were similar enough.
