I think it's not a good idea to leave links to Piped instead of YouTube (same for Nitter/Twitter, Libreddit/Reddit, etc.). If you want to avoid YouTube, then just install LibRedirect extension or similar. Piped links are temporary, they'll break sooner or later, making it difficult for people to get to the website.

"All core systems are now at X.com", so why opening x.com
links in private window redirects to https://twitter.com/x/migrate?tok=
, then again to x.com
? I just cannot describe how stupid this is.
As others have noticed, it drops an error: "Firefox’s Enhanced Tracking Protection (Strict Mode) is known to cause issues on x.com". The link has ?mx=2
parameter. I removed it and the page loaded correctly (but half of the viewport was clumped with banners). I tried again in a new private window, but never saw this error again, so this is a bug due to the aforementioned redirect.

But Google is likely trying this dark pattern to sway people away from F-Droid or alt stores by making users uninstall these apps and install it from the Google Play Store.
No, it's the security measure. Anyone can use existing package ID. If the user installs a different app with the same package ID as the other, that new app just overwrites the old app and will have access to the sensitive data of it.
F-Droid apps are built and signed by the people at F-Droid. Apps from Google Play and GitHub are built and signed by the developers themselves. You can update Google Play apps from GitHub and vice versa. That's why I use Obtainium over F-Droid.

The problem with "org" part. We'll never have org.gnome and com.gnome packages. Some apps have io.github.foo.bar. This entire thing is also case sensitive, so I have to guess is org.gnome.epiphany right name or org.gnome.Epiphany.

Depends on whether you're going to install apps from the official F-Droid repository or not. Third party F-droid repos (like IzzyOnDroid) are not affected by this.
Suppose you have some app (a hypothetical Lemmy app) installed from the official F-Droid repo. You logged in an account, changed some settings. Then the developer announces an update: new features, bug and security fixes. It is published on GitHub and Google Play. F-Droid version will come after a few days, when the maintainer builds the app from source and publishes that update.
You may don't want to wait till update comes to F-droid. But you can't install it from GitHub or Google Play, because it is signed by a different key. You'll have to reinstall the app, which will erase your settings and require logging in again.
This is the hassle you probably may encounter in the future. If you want to avoid it, install official packages from the developers (from GitHub or Google Play). Obtainium can check for updates on GitHub, official and third-party F-Droid repos, and more.

Important note: app developers don't publish their apps on the official F-Droid repository. Other people (maintainers) download source code and compiling these apps. Therefore, updates are delayed by a week. You cannot update the app from other source because F-Droid version signed by a different key, so you must reinstall the app, deleting all the data.
I started using Obtainium to get updates directly from GitHub. It also has support for F-Droid and many other sources. I use F-Droid website mostly to discover apps.

Most of subreddit admins and mods are not interested in migrating to somewhere else. A few months after API changes Reddit is still usable and active. Even third party apps are functioning if you apply a patch with your developer token. Also mods don't want to lose their power.
If you really want to bring more official communities here, you should ask admins who are already interested in open-source or Fediverse. For example, I found that people behind Fossify (a Simple Mobile Tools fork) had created a subreddit. Ask them about Lemmy. It's FOSS-friendly, there are a lot of fans here, so the chances that they'll make and promote a Lemmy community are much higher.

Codeberg and other alternatives are used by 2 people, if not more. If a repo is hosted on such unpopular service, potential contributors must register a new account. This is very frustrating if you want to report just one issue or make one pull request. Self-hosted repos are even worse.
This problem can be solved by implementing federation. GitLab, Gitea and Forgejo already working on it, but really slow.

Nitro ads? It's 1 very minor ad when you launch the app. Then there's no more ads.
Recently I launched Discord on desktop and got big splash screen screaming about new shop items. Earlier, I've got constant popups about new nitro perks, new avatar decorations, new app icons.
Not as good as forums? Bull. I get an answer to my question immediately on discord. I may never find the answer to my question by sifting through dozens of pages of forum posts of someone having a similar but not congruent problem to mine.
You may get an answer immediately, but this answer will be lost after some messages. Someone with the same question may ask it again instead of searching. People in chat may get tired to answer over and over. On forums you have one question 10 years ago and answer to it. No need to ask again.
Can't find information? Discord has integrated forums with a search feature in each server.
Discord's internal search is very limited, not as good as Google. Discord is very hard to archive, so at some point information will be lost.
Bloated? How so? You have an inbox and you have your list of servers on the left hand side.
If you have many servers, you'll get many notifications and new messages badges. You'll also have many useless channels, which you need to manually mute or hide.
it's because discord doesn't have E2E encryption and yall wanna discuss some naughty shit.
I don't really think encryption is mandatory for every chat app, it has some problems with transferring messages to other devices. If you're working on some project, you probably don't want it to be leaked, so you'll encrypt your messages.

Yes, you can enable it in your the LibreWolf specific UI or in your overrides. There aren't significant downsides as Firefox Sync encrypts your data locally before transmitting it to the server. Additionally, you can self-host the old version of the server if you really don't want to use Mozilla's, and there's work being done to have the new version equally easy to self-host. Find out more about the technical details of Sync's implementation here and here.
When using Sync across multiple installations you might want to disable settings synchronization to avoid unintentional changes.

Are you trying to install an update from GitHub to F-Droid app? This will not work because F-Droid apps built with different signature. You should uninstall F-Droid app in order to install updates from GitHub or Play Store. Or you can add source from F-Droid to keep updating app from there.
