I'll be honest. I want to believe in the Fediverse and Lemmy, really really hard.
It's ideals (rather, the gestalt of the best of what everyone says is the best of Federation) appeals strongly.
But sometimes, it's instance after instance of complaining about this or that. Double points when it's all reddit complaining.
I dunno if being a heavy content creator necessitates an air of misguided superiority but there's no more nuance here than anywhere else, and the content can't seem to form precisely because everyone decides to take their toys away and do their own thing at the smallest provocation.
I don't use them on my phone because fuck their app, but I've found no choice but to join up with an alias and as much extensions to make their job harder as Firefox allows, just to have genuine discussions on hyper specific topics from a PC.
Really? No choice?
Take control of your life, goddamn.
