I think 1L is old rule and they don't need that much nowdays for test. But it is rule and easy to define and measure, no need to change.

Gentoo, obviously.
I use it since it works. But it also has up to date packages. Number of times I tried moving away from it and it is just not possible.
I use Mint on side-desktop (one with graphic card I use for gaming and deep learning) and while it is easy to use it also has old software, python is stuck on 3.7 or 3.8 so it is becoming unusable even.
Will gentoo give you some problems? Probably, but those are always solvable and you will spend less time on other stuff.
Simple as that, of some instances federate with them I will not use them.
We will have block list like with ads, if necessary.
I don't think that FB even knows that lemmy exist, problem is they are so big they will crush us by accident.
Even back than with XMPP, Google didn't kill it intentionally. No one expected it will be smaller than before google used it. I remember watching empty list where all friends were. But it happened, and I never thought that Google wanted to kill XMPP.
Maybe they want to use Activity Pub so that they can influence further development of it. I don't know procedure how w3c is makeing decisions and updates to it, but I doubt someone that is not using it can have influence.
I also think they don't care about us, I doubt they even know we exist.
That doesn't change that they would destroy us unintentionally. Like Vogons.
Please come to lemmy, we will need BotDefende pretty soon.
XMPP akka Jabber was the chat back in the day, if you wanted to chat one on one, and didn't want msn and other random corporate messangers - jabber was it.
All geeky/techy friends were on jabber, others were on skype and some other networks through time.
That's why Pidgin ( https://www.pidgin.im/plugins/?publisher=all&query=&type=) was important it implemented all those messaging protocols together.
But one year, all of a sudden, everyone got on jabber! Thise from Facebook and those from Google. Google Talk was great, all my friends were online and reachable. Good days.
Than they killed it. And it all stopped. Not only for us on jabber, but for everyone. But jabber god destroyed, no one was there anymore. We all felt that emptiness and it was not fun anymore.
Wether they did it intentionally or by accident doesn't matter. If you go with your truck over kids bike intentionally to destroy it or just want to pass - doesn't matter at the end.
When I can not wach live I avoid all F1 media, this is live event and escaping that will only hurt community.
Just imagine calling your friends to watch recording of Superbowl.
Even more, how long delay should be there?
