Funkwhale is worth checking out. It’s a music/audio streaming service, similar to Soundcloud for example.

That’s just one BookWyrm instance, though. More can be found here:

I might add that Linus’ father Nils Torvalds was a card carrying member of the Finnish Communist Party in the 1970s.

I’m sorry but that’s just nonsense. Finland had one of the strongest communist movements in Western Europe during the cold war. Large swaths of Finns happily voted for communists in elections for decades.

Torvalds is Finnish by nationality, he just speaks Swedish as his mother tongue. That’s not uncommon in Finland.
