The official webapp seems to support it, so I guess it's just not yet implemented.
Jerboa on the other hand doesn't seem to like it:

I never really understood it myself. But from what I've heard from people who are (or rather were) regular Twitter users, they like to follow celebrities or specific journalists (people who have actual interesting things to say). Those people are often not on Mastodon, though.
I think you make a great point. It's easier to make an echo chamber in Mastodon/Twitter, since you mostly encounter people you already know (or are connected to via someone you know).
Not that echo chambers are impossible on platforms like Lemmy or Reddit, but I feel like the format of Twitter/Mastodon especially encourages it.
I like Pika Backup. It's a frontend for borgbackup that also let's you mount and browse your archive with a few clicks. I think it's pretty handy on a desktop PC. And since it uses borgbackup you also get encryption with it.
This person will never commit a sex crime, will never say a racist remark, never do anything controversial.
But controversy is good, it generates attention. My fear is that the "optimized" artificial celebrity will be exactly that and it will be a whole new level of shitshow. When you think about it, there are already people who maintain "controversial" public personas for that exact reason (not naming any, since I don't want to give them more attention), so it's not even that far fetched.
Wait ... so Windows 11 is a requirement?
It looks like a linux app is at least planned (excerpt from their blog post):
That's great news! I'm a linux user myself, but I understand that's not a priority right now. Maybe it can be run with wine, might give it a try ...
Es gab ein paar englisch-sprachige Threads zum Beispiel hier und hier. Sind aber eher Spekulationen, nichts sicheres.
Anscheinend ist die Instanz auch noch erreichbar, nur sehr langsam, vielleicht kannst Du mit etwas Geduld noch Deine Profildaten raus ziehen. Außerdem wurde in einem der Threads von oben noch ein Tool erwähnt, mit dem man wohl seine Subscriptions sichern kann, aber vermutlich bringt das in Deiner Situation nichts mehr.
Dabei aber laut hupen, der Fairness halber

YES, as someone who uses the German version of Jerboa, I was waiting for this!
I hope you get better soon!
