They could have tried again with another booster and landing pad.

Most of them. I read a recent article that interviewed a holdout. I'm sure there are others.

If the developers could fix search, it would go a long way in improving Mastodon.

Does defending Israel include extending equal rights to Palestinians and allowing the right of return for refugees and their descendants? Netanyahu or not, I don't think an apartheid state should be defended, especially with resources that could instead be used to help with domestic issues in the US.

Never post your resume or sign up for LinkedIn in the course of a job search? Never use a dating site? Never buy a domain? Never pay property taxes? Never go to court? I see your point, but never revealing your info online isn't realistic or even a choice for most people.

No.

Locking my account helped me cut down my Twitter usage a lot by making it pointless to reply in most cases.

I'm not saying that talent, preference, or experience aren't real or that people won't naturally focus their efforts on certain activities. I'm saying that people shouldn't have to effectively blackmailed into certain activities, whether they align with their preferences or not. I like being a mechanical engineer. I do not like that I have to do it for forty plus hours a week, 49 weeks out of the year. Getting rid of occupations means that I would not be penalized if I decided to cut back on engineering and devote some real time to things that actually matter to me, my family, and my neighbors.

For most people, having an occupation means giving up roughly half of your waking hours, as well as a toll on your body and mind, to the minority class that happens to own the things needed to do this occupation in exchange for wages. These wages are required to buy the necessities for the rest of your life from this same minority class. Getting rid of occupations means ending this relationship so that we no longer have to support the exorbitant lifestyles and cruel whims of this minority class. It means putting us in control of the value we create with our labor and not wasting it on the likes of telemarketing, car dealing, or denying health insurance claims.
