I'm sorry you have to deal with that kind of negativity from people who are likely not even Debian users. Unfortunately Mastodon is not free of social media toxicity - it just has a different flavour. However every Debian admin I know sincerely appreciates your sustained efforts on systemd in Debian, as I posted when I saw this news: https://fosstodon.org/@smlx/114240374851185610 Leaving the cloud images aside for a moment, even on the desktop systemd-resolved has been the _only_ DNS tool that actually works reliably for complex DNS setups. There's a blog post from Tailscale way back in 2021, explaining the shortcomings of every other DNS solution, and why only systemd-resolved actually handles complex requirements the right way: https://tailscale.com/blog/sisyphean-dns-client-linux If Trixie really ships without systemd-resolved it will be almost unusable for Tailscale (and similar VPNs), DNS over TLS/HTTPS, and other modern DNS configuration combinations common in 2025.
