It makes sense to use whatever $tech helps you get an MVP out asap and iterate on it. once you're sure you found gold, then it makes sense to optimize for scale. The only thing I guess one has to worry about when developing something like that, is to make sure good scalability is possible with some tinkering and efforts and not totally impossible.
In my personal experience, my parents (not super tech savvy) always had a windows laptop and never had a specific windows issue due to updates and whatever. If they did, it's more app specific, not necessarily os specific.
In general, I (personally) disagree with the statement that macs require less maintenance than windows or Linux, I use a mac for work, and I have a fair share of app related issues just like I would on a Windows or Linux machine. It's just my opinion.
One suggestion is to maybe allow users/community to have a walled garden in regards to writing rights. This would help with moderation, and allow users to subscribe to the walled gardens/bubbles they are most interested in.

9 is for ق
I'm from Morocco, and most people here (myself included) are accustomed to typing on an AZERTY (or QWERTY) keyboard. Typing in Arabic using a standard keyboard layout can be quite cumbersome and slow for us (Most people never took the time to learn it), using latin alphabet for us is just more practical, and doesn't require you to learn a new way to type.
In our daily communication, when we text, whether with friends or family, we often switch between English, French, or Moroccan dialects. When writing in Moroccan dialect, we frequently use a phonetic system (read in french way) that combines the Latin alphabet with numbers to represent specific sounds or letters that don’t have a direct equivalent in the Latin script.
For example:
ق is replaced by "q"
ع is replaced by "3"
خ is replaced by "5" (though "kh" is more common)
غ is replaced by "4" (or "gh")
The rest is just a 1 to 1 conversion to how the letter sounds in french
Example phrase :Bro, I woke up and had a sick breakfast.
Sat, 3ad fe9t o drabt wa7d ftor khatir.
- I have a plex server running on it
- I can remote into it from my phone, this comes in handy a lot of the time.
- I can remote into it when traveling through my Fire stick using parsec, which means I don't have to carry a laptop with me everywhere I go ( I also setup my phone so I can use it as keyboard/mouse when I do this).
Regarding energy costs, it's negligible for the benefits it gives me
