I also prefer a desktop, but I’m not an elitist and I recognize the majority of people, especially younger people, consume a significant amount (if not a majority) of content on their phones.

Just gotta shout dialup noises.

You used to ignore the phone to browse the internet on a computer.

Now you ignore the computer to browse the internet on your phone.

I was with them until the last sentence, like what a weird takeaway.

Just give the hooman a rootbeer.

Nightdive's remake of the first one was so good, I was hoping the second one got the same treatment.

I get why Federation can cause issues (most of the time it's moderation related), but why would an extra option be a deal-breaker? Federation can always be disabled on a per-domain basis if you prefer. In fact, I'd argue it's best practice to only allow domains on a case-by-case basis to prevent spam and abuse.

On the converse, you can't enable Federation on a platform that doesn't have it.

This is the best answer. In 2025, CPUs are extremely complex. There are so many ways to measure a CPU's performance now, a spec sheet isn't going to tell you which one is faster (even if you're very educated in this stuff).

At the end of the day, what matters is: How well can the CPU perform the tasks you need it to?

This means, look at benchmarks that closely resemble the types of tasks (rendering, code compiling, gaming, etc) that you'd want to use the CPU for. Different CPUs often come out on top depending on the type of workload, so find the one that best does what you need it to do.

Yes, which is good, but the lack of federation is a deal-breaker. It means that you either:

1. Use their servers - This requires entrusting them with your communities, just like Discord.
2. Host your own private instance - You can control it, but the lack of federation means it'll be isolated from communicating with other communities. This makes it really difficult to convince people to use your self-hosted servers.

Until Revolt adds a way for different instances to federate, Matrix is really the only other option.

Seems a bit heavy to use full Ubuntu for a single application appliance, but I guess it’s still probably better than Windows.
