An example I have is Trinidad and Tobago, where someone who exports to the United States and Central/South America uses it to buy medical goods (e.g. masks). It is also used by all of my Chinese immigrant friends to communicate with their family and friends still living in mainland China.
Interestingly, I have noticed an uptick in casual use among people here in the states since TikTok exploded in popularity, but I am unsure why. It is gaining popularity by the college students here too, and we are by no means a tech-city. Far from it in-fact. 🤔

Bigger Camera Zoom
Gas Overlay
Chained Deconstruction
Build Natural Tiles
Longer BridgesThese are probably a good starting point. They are what I started with, and I've expanded to about 15 quality of life mods and a few mods that add items (such as floor vents that suck air from one side to another with electricity).
There's a lot out there
I would not consider the phrase "master branch" oppressive to anyone.
