+1 for the GIMP3 excitement, and ×1,000,000 for the YouTube gripe.

Technically the blog author is right. Sure, the social aspects of the web go back to the very first chat rooms, but okay. Let's set a backstop at web 2.0's blogs. So what is his point, let's burn down this new foundation on a technicality before it gets off the ground?
Also technically, "social web" is super imprecise when clearly the organisation is supposed to promote and highlight federated platforms. Sounds like somebody did a super lazy brainstorm without looking up from their belly button to consider this exact fallout.
I have the feeling the same somebody will be on the market for a new domain name pretty soon.
I don’t know what they haven’t linked it
They sort of have, but without a lot of explanation: it's the self link directly under the "follow us" header. [Edit: in my browser, the link just directs to the main SWF page, because Wordpress' ActivityPub plugin is still imperfect.] You have to navigate to their contact page to have it formated as a proper ActivityPub address.
Perhaps your phone has extra aggressive battery saving settings that kill the background process? The official Syncthing has a setting to run as a persistent service, which always helped me.
Otherwise see if you can make system exceptions for the app to run in the background, and allow it to auto-sync. It's been a while since I used the forked app, buy it did help me out on a device where the official didn't work for me.
Hope this helps.
who is downvoting me and why?
You're probably making them feel stupid, people downvote for no good reason. It's a them problem, not a you one; everybody should check AlternativeTo before asking for recommendations.
Yeah, phone to laptop, and I recently synced all backups and files from an old phone to a new one, too. Once you have the computer setup, you can basically connect phones by reading its QR code.
If the official Syncthing Android app is giving you a hard time, maybe try Syncthing-fork? IIRC that's only the daemon and web GUI wrapped as an app. But I've used the main app only for the past few years.
I'd really recommend giving Syncthing a second chance, twist a few knobs in the settings until it works. I've used it for years with barely a hitch.

...assuming of course these are people who left the open Fediverse to join another corporate platform.
That's the kind of reassurance I needed to go ahead. Thanks!
I agree with a lot of your points, but this is probably the objectively truest one 🙂
