Might be actually better to follow them now. In case these profiles move to another instance, you will still follow them after the move. But if you don’t follow them it might be harder to find out if and where they moved to, to find them again.

Would be nice with activity pub support for sharing planned and recorded trails. Cone to think of it. Does it make that distinction? Planned vs recorded? How about a planning, route finding mode?

Kudos to your project so far!

I’m using official flatpak Firefox because I didn’t want to wait any longer for Fedora releasing their rpm version of it. This way I get new releases right away and they are official as intended by Mozilla.

Not really a flatpak advantage, but a Firefox advantage.

Endless paper and needle printers? Using a floppy? Well I’m glad not to have to use those anymore.

Debian if you want to stay with deb packages otherwise there is Fedora or OpenSUSE

Noisy? Bit odd to call it that. Also, from my perception they were always present with regularly published news about how they improve or just update/change their service.

Every so often you read something where someone perfectly summarised your own thoughts and experiences.

Bollocks. For example in Germany, online petitions on a government run website that reach a certain threshold of people signing are automatically discussed in parliament.

And in the Firefox case here, no idea what they are planning but they could for example hand over the printed out signatures or dump them in the politicians post box or whatever. Have some fantasy.

So educate them?

Same thought train like people claiming a protest march does nothing. You couldn’t be more wrong. Making your opinion heard and showcasing how many people are with you has impact.

In fact, I’ll turn your logic upside down: if your protest didn’t get the result you wanted, you just didn’t mobilize enough people (or not enough people cared for your cause)
