I've been a big fan of helix as a terminal text/code editor - while VS Code is open source, a lot of their language servers (for example, pylance) are closed source. Helix lets me integrate open source language servers out of the box without any setup needed (besides installing the language servers), and it has a UI that helps you explore new features and learn keyboard shortcuts. It doesn't have plugins yet, but I find that the built in features have implemented most things I'd want a plugin for; and it has different keybindings than vim/neovim, but I've found the new model for editing more intuitive and worth the relearning process.

I'm using Fedora - was using Arch for a while, but realized I didn't want to put in the work to keep up with/migrate to the newest tech (Wayland, Pipewire) but I also didn't want to fall behind. Fedora has been great at integrating new tech without me needing to pay close attention or migrate to it myself.
Even if Reddit walks this decision back, the fact that a corporation is making the decisions instead of the community/content creators means that similar drama is inevitable. I can't blame them for making a decision to try and be more profitable, but that also means I will leave and put my effort towards a network that is community-led.
At the same time, running a Lemmy instance isn't free - I have concerns about how these instances will stay funded in the long term. I'll also miss the niche communities that haven't made their way over here yet, but hopefully they will!
