I’m having a ton of fun with Mint. I’m finding it tight, full of relevant software, and quite configurable.

That was my gut reaction, but that logic also perpetuated leaded fuel.
Here is a message for you.
I can’t speak to the quality issues, but I understand that some of the accidents are caused by the software correcting unexpectedly, and the user overcorrecting. This is compounded by changes to the software and features.
The glaring engineering issue I have seen is issues with the batteries being discharged and users having no access to the vehicle even though the aux power has juice left (this could be backwards).
For the fires, the lithium batteries become incendiary devices once they are ruptured.
Unless we can do something about the batteries flaming and burning the contents to pure ash, they will gain a worsening reputation on their own.
Best I can say is that you have your local server, which is the server you originally signed up in. You then have all the rest of the connected (federated) servers that can see what you say.
Each server is its own mini-lemmy, so it is broken down into communities just like subreddits. Each has its own server administrators and each community has its own moderators.
Regarding content delivery, it seems to be about the same process: a link, image, video, or text from a certain community. The responses are similarly threaded with buttons for interaction.
The largest differences I have seen are that each server instance can have duplicate communities. Different servers have different tolerances for communities. In extreme cases, whole servers can be blocked (defederated) from your server. This is usually due to unwanted behavior from the users that is not curbed by the moderators or extreme communities that cause hardship for other users.
This is what I got after about a week of lurking. If I’m not correct, please let me know.
Dear God, to wasn’t FAANG all along. All fear MARTA!
Interact, share. Be positive.
I also like the wide range of sources to pull down content and have it available vs sometimes having to wrestle with a streaming site in the moment.
