Switched years ago and never looked back.

Reaper is on a line with ProTools and has a linux port. I never like Ardour. Too much fiddly stuff.

Unlikely. Why do you say that? Wasn’t reddit once small?

If I can’t use a 3rd party app, I’m done. Their own UX is terrible.

I think a lot of the federated part right now is really confusing and obtuse to new users especially.

I have no idea what it means in context or in the broader scheme.

Don’t blame the tool for the behavior of its user. You should try Stackoverflow. That place is toxically moderated…no, moderated isn’t the right word. Gatekept. Ask one poorly worded question because you’re trying to work something out and not sure how to phrase the question? Fucking amateur, you’re banned! I moved to reddit to get away from the SO culture and I’m hopeful lemmy can fill that niche.

…and I too love challenging bigots. “Why” is a question they don’t like hearing.
