Are there any use-case for those SSDs with hardware-based encryption? Is it a good idea to use one of those over software-based encryption? (sh.itjust.works)

Interesting, I haven't seen the "pure AP" thing, will check it out. Yeah I'm not attached to any particular model of it, since there are pros and cons of each, and they have the same basic structure (communities on lemmy appear as users reposting whatever mentions them, you could represent imageboard communities the same way, etc etc). Hopefully people evolve beyond just imitating popular social media products.

I think there are several servers that don't try to match any particular dominant player.

It's really down to the follow-person or follow-community model. AP supports both, but I've seen few servers or clients that support both. Which should be possible; it's something that frequently annoys me about every Lemmy client I've tried: sometimes, there are people I'd like to follow, and get everything they post, regardless of community, in my feed.
