tbh I like W10, I grew up with 98 but the slight UI modifications of 10 (like the expanded and customizable start menu) felt necessary to me.

W11 however… that’s a pile of shit as it is very clear it aims to be pretty to casual users more than it aims to be useful and streamlined.

To be honest according to your own data that doesn’t seem good for Lemmy. Two huge instances who make up almost 30% of all Lemmy users aren’t federated anymore, it seems to me it’s a pretty big deal for Lemmy.

to be honest YouTube has great content because of the video length allowed. You can find all sorts of tutorials on pretty much anything. Instagram and TikTok, on the other hand, fit your description much better.
