Cool to see an article in a large media outlet about Fedi. I wonder whether the federation aspect and instances are soo difficult to grasp as portrayed, though. Sure, it’s another step before getting started which took me a day or so to decide but it’s not difficult per se, is it? Maybe a good filter who signs up. I mean if one is not willing to put in the barest minimum of consideration, why switch from birdsite at all?

Really good idea, but I’ll have to be a hair in the soup. On an environmental panel discussion a polymer researcher (someone deeply opposed to single use plastic btw) made the point to be extremely careful when using plastics outside its intended use case around food. Temperature, acidity and lipids (fat) can break down plastics not designed to withstand them. So microwaving your fried lemons in a random plastic container is something I would be hesitant to do. Not saying you’ll die, but please be careful!
