Once another platform comes along that ticks enough boxes to satisfy people then YouTube will be absolutely screwed.
This is 100% true, the issue is it's very unlikely for that happen out of nowhere. Youtube is a service that needs a lot of work & $ to compete with & they have all the content creators locked in as well.
Personally I would love to be on a video platform where people just want to spread information for fun & to educate people, how youtube used to be, instead of everyone monetizing everything with clickbait video covers, titles, while making arbitrarily long videos to satisfy some Youtube ad criteria.
I think temporarily suspending images until you guys can settle on a safe alternative to lemmy is a good idea.
There is no such thing as a safer alternative to Lemmy. It's very easy to say things like "use tools" to filter these things, but in actuality it's anything but, it's way beyond a foss project. (or Reddit for that matter, though they are trying and good gawd, I just remembered something I saw on reddit and have not thought of for years, damn it)
In a good rpg, having a couple of these is fine, but in my opinion in Baldur's Gate 3 these intentionally undecipherable decisions are overabundant. I'm not saying BG3 is bad, in fact many and perhaps most things are absolutely incredible. I just feel that that presented choice options & some parts of the big plot could have been done better.
I think the problem with player choice is that you are often not presented with the choice that you or your character would normally want, or that the game intentionally hides the information from you that you would need to make an informed decision. Also this is subjective, but I don't like being pranked by the dungeon master, I quit tabletop rpgs due to this reason as a kid.
And the case about the game being interactive fiction instead of a "game" game is not entirely unfounded either. Not that I would consider that a bad thing necessarily.
(edit: I wrote this 1h into Act 3. Since then I finished the game & I found Act3 the best part of the game & rather amazing on the whole..)
I have died twice due to dialog choices. Once Lae'zel killed me in camp & once I turned into a mind flayer under the Absolute, thus ending my journey.
I think former Reddit users behaving like Reddit users is the expected result. It will take a long time for them to re-socialize, but it will happen as long as the new platform doesn't keep track of fake internet points at least. (admittedly sometimes I also behave like that, well it's a work in progress.)
In my opinion wherever Beehaw goes, as long as it's a usable reddit-like platform it will be the same for a while.
I don't recommend doing this. The dialog is far worse with the awkward gaps of silence.
I remember watching a few short vids on Youtube where people were making claims that Friends is unfunny garbage with out without the laugh track, but the truth is the awkward silences kill all jokes.

Nvidia on Linux is better than ever before, even over the past couple of months there were tremendous improvements. As long as you use X11 you will have a pretty good gaming experience across the board, but Nvidia driver updates are often a headache. With AMD, you don't even have to think about it, unless Davinci Resolve forces you to, but even then it's a better situation.
Anyway, comments like "you'll be 100% fine" are not really based on reality, occasionally Nvidia will break things. However if you use the BTRFS filesystem with Timeshift (or even that wretched Snapper) set up, then this is merely a minor inconvenience. (for example before I moved to Arch, Ubuntu pushed an Nvidia update that broke my system, happened in June..)
AMD is a lot better than before both in terms of hardware and software, far better in fact. For people that don't buy the top of the line card every other year AMD is a real alternative, more so than in a long time.
