Gnome Terminal when I’m in GNOME, Konsole when I’m in KDE, and plain old xterm for i3 and any other WM. These just feel like they fit just right into their respective DE/WM.

I won’t lie, if you look at my Reddit profile you’ll see that I’ve commented more here in the last couple of days than probably the last 3 years on Reddit. The community just feels more welcome and I feel as if my comment will get read instead of being drowned out as it happens on Reddit.

For most of the users currently online it’s extremely difficult to understand the concept of federation and how everything works, so I doubt it’ll ever be as prevalent as “the big social media platforms”, but for technically-inclined users, it’ll definitely have at least moderate success.
