"A return to a more independent internet" definitely seems optimistic, if by that you mean it becoming a mainstream thing. But I do think FOSS and the fediverse are going to continue growing in popularity beyond their traditional extremely narrow niche.
I'd just like to interject for a moment. What you're refering to as Linux, is in fact, GNU/Linux, or as I've recently taken to calling it, GNU plus Linux. Linux is not an operating system unto itself, but rather another free component of a fully functioning GNU system made useful by the GNU corelibs, shell utilities and vital system components comprising a full OS as defined by POSIX.
We're working on bringing Lemmy up to speed with some of the features our "fork" (it's more of a rewrite) has. When that's ready we'll switch to that which will already have federation ready for us.
It’s not a single event or a true “return” to a preexisting state, but it’s decent enough branding and the overall process of (true) decentralization is indeed a good thing for the left and for people in general

We need to actually implement federation though.
would you say 2022 is finally the year of the linux on the desktop?
I feel like you're doing a meme to me

Nice
