This is a great guide. The only quibble I have with it is the part about choosing an instance. There’s one aspect where it does matter: not every instance federates with every other. It’s good to be aware of any significant defederation vs what you care about when selecting an instance.
For a variety of reasons (only some of which are related to a conscious choice to be healthier) I’ve lost 25 pounds. I was at the store the other day and the party sized peanut butter M&Ms were on sale. I thought “I’ve lost weight, and can afford to indulge a little,” so I bought one.
Omg, I can’t stop eating them! They’re so completely addictive.
