I never considered going back. Lemmy is forward. More power to the users and the community and less from greedy shareholders. This is the way.

It's like a warm, beautiful sunset.
Lemmy! THE HOT NEW REDDIT SENSATION CREEPING THE NATION!
REDDIT WHO!?
EXACTLY!
LEMMY'S GOT TECHIES, IT'S GOT TREKKIES, IT'S GOT MASTODON INTEGRATION AND ISN'T OWNED BY A CORPORATE ENTITY, OR ANY GOVERNMENT! RADICAL!
Lemmy and Reddit promote engagement, discourse and even arguments... ok, especially arguments.
Mastodon feels like a list of billboards that I am disconnected from.
"Oh, that's news"
But no one talks between eachother about anything. I almost feel like the nature of the layout of Twitter and it's alternatives are almost by design to make the users a little more self serving.
Mastodon has every user standing on a soapbox yelling at crowds, Lemmy is more of a public forum.
While I can't quite land on why I didn't use Mint DE, I didn't use Ubuntu because I don't like snap very much. Just about every instance using it has led to either issues clashing with other apps or just complete failure overall. I know you can avoid it and get rid of it but I'm tired of removing things.
I saw MX and was like... "Looks like my desktop as I usually like it." and you can treat MX as if it's just another Debian stable install as far as guides are concerned.
MX Linux.
Debian with perks.
I use SearXNG. They search Google anonymously. I also like the layout better. Less bullshit. Straight to the content.
Still using zlib with tor.
MX Linux.
Imagine Linux Mint Debian edition, but it isn't green and there are a lot of useful GUI tools. It's also so near to actually being Debian that you can just install things meant for Debian on it. It also runs a backported kernel for modern graphics driver and chipset support so you get your stability and your performance all in one.
Remember kids. It only works if you stay here.

Might as well carry on as usual. I like to think nothing changed and we just moved.
The community is thousands of times more important than where it happens to be.
