I think it would be nice to have the ability to add a mastodon toot into Lemmy and have it display the toot in a nice format and be linked to the toot’s server, but I don’t think replies to it should be standard from Lemmy since there likely could be different conversations occurring on different mediums.
I also think it would be nice to have PeerTube video integrated well into Lemmy but again the replies on Lemmy should not be the same as the replies on the Peertube format. Likely it will be a specific community focused discussion on Lemmy.
Definitely use Steam’s Proton to play steam games, just change your settings to have it run for every game that doesn’t run native on Linux. Proton uses Wine. If it is not a steam game, use Lutris. Lutris provides great install scripts that also use Wine. Gaming on Linux has come a long way in the last 6 months to a year.
I see this crackdown on Trumpism more as a response from the state because it was threatened than a response from the left. There may be many on the left who cheer this on, but it is not directed by those on the far left. This is a response from the state. The state does not care about your right of free speech if there is an attack on it. The state will protect it’s power structures no matter what.
