There should be a horror spin off with Willie Wonka long gone, the Chocolate factory abandoned, and Oompa Loompas going feral. A group of young adults exploring the abandoned factory come to realize that, every time they hear the "Oopa Loompa Song", one in their group is doomed. They lyrics of the verse provide clues as to who it's going to be.
Palia is brand new (still in open Beta) It's more focused on low-key crafting/farming and community, but opportunities to socialize are there.

Guild Wars 2 is my favorite "no subscription required" MMORPG that could work for you (but you have that one).
.
ESO Online is my favorite "subscription" MMO and I've met people there.
.
FFXIV is decent for socializing but, the hard-core gamers can stress you out. Works best if you join a low key guild that doesn't want to speed-run all the duties and crap on you for not being as good as they are.
.
General rule for MMORPGs in general is, find a guild you like and hang with them.
"Plutocracy" is the term for "Financial Oligarchy" BTW. Worth knowing the term if you live in the U.S. since that's kinda what we have here these days :/
Yea, I get it, some will disagree but, in the end, I'm a bigger fan of "call out culture" than "cancel culture". The former gives the person a chance to course-correct.
Although, speaking as a fan of Mint who used it as my "daily driver" for years, I think the time has come for them to switch from Ubuntu to Debian and embrace Wayland. I know that, if I'd stayed with Mint, I've have gone to LMDE by now.
I don't know, Linus is still trying to excuse and justify. It would seem taking him out of the driver's seat was the right call. As for the rest, they are responding because their backs are against the wall. Time will tell if they will really make any changes.
I'm not really that familiar with LTT. I did subscribe to his channel, mainly because I was bemused by him borking his PC by rushing an install of PopOS and Steam. ("yes, do as I say", if you recall). Reading the PC Gamer article, it appears he did the same, "just drive on without thinking it through" approach to this prototype cooler. I haven't watched a lot of his videos and anyone can make a mistake but, there is an expectation that a "tech expert" show a bit of diligence. Plus, if he's showcasing a vendor, he should make sure they have every chance to shine.

.....this guy is starting to look like a poser now....
You can't. Furthermore, the consequences of "people pleasing" and "conflict avoidance" can do far more damage than the occasional bad rep. In fact, if you're consistent about setting and enforcing reasonable boundaries, you'll ultimately gain more respect in the long run.
They are, indeed, irony immune....
