SUSE Preserves Choice in Enterprise Linux by Forking RHEL with a $10+ Million Investment ( www.suse.com )

SUSE is committed to working with the open source community to develop a long-term, enduring compatible alternative for RHEL and CentOS users. SUSE plans to contribute this project to an open source foundation, which will provide ongoing free access to alternative source code.

It sounds like SUSE is announcing that it is happy to eat the cost of providing a free distro that is RHEL-compatible, and to offer paid support to customers who want to use a RHEL-compatible distro, all as an add-on to their core business with SUSE. Can anyone correct my understanding?

Distro-hopping is a valid hobby, but it's not for everyone. If you aren't specifically interested in distros and fiddling with packages, hopping around on your "daily driver" can be disruptive. If you just want something that works, there's nothing wrong with figuring out which distros do what you need and using one of those for work and play. If something catastrophic happens to a distro to make it literally unusable, you can worry about that when it happens. There is usually something else which is almost the same. Few people will get much value from hopping between distros which are basically the same, just because the distros are put out by different companies or install different packages by default.

While larger, more general communities are thriving on the Fediverse - I'm missing out on the niche communities ( kbin.social )

Gaming, news, tech, general literature. All of these are somewhat thriving, with a steady influx of posts and comments. At the same time, the userbase is sorely lacking for more niche communities. In my case it'd be stuff like poetry, yoga, religion, linguistics, meditation. Or many other communities I'd doubt they'd form a...

This post is helpful for highlighting some of the reasons the migration is slow. People who want to chart the future of the Fediverse need to listen to this kind of feedback and think about how to fix the pipeline.

You're doing the right thing. They're just trying to juice their own numbers by pressuring you to say something effusive.
