I've used a personal wiki for several years now, and I think it works just fine. Surprisingly, I don't really link pages together all that much, but I make heavy use of tagging and categorising. I find that's been enough for me.
I don't really follow links, and mostly I just use the search bar when I need anything. I think one thing that's tripping lots of people up is they are trying to use these tools the way they think is expected of them. Instead, it's better to just make it as frictionless as possible to add notes, and as frictionless as possible to read notes you've written before.
Everything else is just procrastination with "productivity tools"
This is kinda what happened with Mastodon wrt to ActivityPub. Lots of what the Fediverse means is how Mastodon chooses to use the protocols. Often in ways that aren't even compliant with the specifications. So yep EEE is highly viable as an attack.
You don't need moral realism to arrive at a set of mutually agreed upon moral values. You don't have to agree with your friends on what's the best food in the world is in order to choose a place to have dinner.
There is an argument that you don't like the process by which the moral values were arrived to, but that's hardly a reason to indulge in moral nihilism.
One thing also to keep in mind is it's often hard to keep a project working because the ecosystem evolves around the project. So updates are needed just for existing functionality to remain.
Features and APIs are deprecated/ removed from libraries, and if you don't update your project stops working in most user environments.
The real cost is in the repaving and that's much more a property of weight of the vehicles. Bike infrastructure is significantly cheaper to create and maintain compared to nearly any other vehicle.
