I don’t really grok products like this.

If you have a fundamental disagreement with a platform, continuing to engage with it, even through a condom, is still perpetuating it. It’s maintaining that platform as still important and integral, and a place that others should continue to engage with. It’s telling advertisers that it’s still a place that’s worth their money to maintain a presence on. It stymies the momentum in shifting to an alternative; why put the effort into a new service if people are still seeing your posts?

It’s like pirating Windows instead of moving to a different OS. You’re still perpetuating the MS hegemony and telling software developers that Windows is the platform they need to develop for.

Full agree. Get his product’s name as part of the general term and it’d confuse people into thinking it was the original.

I’ve never heard the term “threadiverse”. Where are you coming across it?

I think if you want meaningful recommendations, you have to say:

• why you want to get away from Fedora
• what you liked about Fedora that kept you there until now
• what you hope you’d get from a new distro
• any nonstarters that would keep you away from a distro

Without knowing those things, it’s just going to be people proselytizing their favorite distros rather than suggesting one that will fit what you’re looking for.

In OP’s situation where they’re downloading a car, I think it’s a safe assumption that the car has already been designed/engineered and OP is just printing it out and assembling it. This would be akin to a kit car, and modern kit cars certainly don’t require specialized engineering skills to assemble.

At it’s core, whatever system you implement is going to have four buckets:

• I need to see and deal with this immediately
• I need to see this immediately, but can deal with it later
• I need to see this at some point
• This is a complete waste of my time

When you set up filters/rules, it’s typically safer to err in putting something in a higher priority bucket.

Past that, it really depends on the email you receive. For mine, an easy differentiator is if I’m a direct recipient, just a CC, or if I’m getting it as a member of a group mailbox. I get a lot of automated notifications, and those are easy to sort based on source and subject line.
