I retrained myself in Dvorak many years back, and really enjoyed using it much better than QWERTY. I had to revert back to qwerty because of commercial standardizations/limitations at different workplaces, unfortunately.
All that to say that workman layout seems even better after reading that article. I don't really see myself making the effort to switch again, but I enjoyed reading about it. Thanks for sharing.
Maybe I'm missing something. I understand and agree with the concept of limiting or eliminating our reliance on algorithms for content recommendations. This seems like a different issue though, is it not?
Right now I'd choose Lemmy. Summit on mobile and photon on desktop.
Piefed is a close second, but still has a ways to go. Honestly, I could see it surpassing Lemmy soon.
I haven't driven Mbin too much, but it's pretty neat conceptually. I wouldn't count it out if you want to be able to microblog from the same platform. Kind of novel, but I found the experience to be disconjointed overall.
Hell yeah, good luck!
