Social networks are inherently monopolistic because people follow the crowd, and federation is meant to counteract that tendency toward userbase consolidation.
It's just that network effects are real. I want to be where all the smart, fun people are, not on a ded site or nazi island. I don't really care about who's on my instance, just who's on the network. Federation and decentralization were never huge selling points for me. And as Mastodon demonstrated, most people just want to log onto a big network and don't care or want to think about instances.

With the election shaping up to be a referendum on Dobbs vs. “The Economy”, do the Democrats have it in them to pull off an unexpected win? Is McConnell trying to throw the race?

Since you like JLD2, there's interest in reviving it.

I don't. But the last commit on JLD.jl was 3 months ago. Compare to 2 months ago for the last commit on HFD5.jl. For something like this I wouldn't expect very frequent changes, so JLD seems alive. JLD2 is officially deprecated though.
Why not Julia's built-in serialization?

Like I said, the site wasn't entirely clear to me. Let's say I upload mp3's I bought (that is, they aren't public domain or CC) to a pod. Can all federated instances access those files?

I'll have to decide if this matters to me, but are there any good Signal alternatives or forks?

How exactly does funkwhale work? Their site didn't quite clear it up for me. You upload music to your instance and anyone can access it? Is this piracy (fine, but just to clarify)?

TOML.jl will eventually be added to the standard library. The latest iteration of TOML.jl is in the official Julia Github org now (but not the General registry), and looks ready for use.

I find the UI nicer. But actually, there is a slight issue with F-Droid that Aurora Droid fixes. From this /r/microG wiki page:
It is safe to update microG from F-Droid. The built-in F-Droid app store detects microG Services Core as "UnifiedNlp (No GAPPS)" due to package naming conflicts. You will likely have an update to this package when first installing LineageOS for microG. The microG versions are in the 0.2.X range, so check the version numbers on this package. At the time of writing, the latest microG services core version is 0.2.10.X. Note that Aurora Droid is able to properly display the package name.
Emphasis mine.

You might want LineageOS for microG. The microG Github has a list of problem apps that don't work. Whatsapp isn't on there but if you run into trouble just search /r/microG or post a question if an answer doesn't already exist. The /r/microG wiki is a great beginner's guide.
In my experience, some apps just won't work, and the location services aren't as accurate as Google's.
I like Aurora Droid (same makers as Aurora Store) as an alternative to the F-Droid app.
