- I like a high-intensity stream full of well-connected voices, and I like being able to get a lot of people’s attention when I have something to say that I think is important.
But my vibe shouldn’t be the only vibe on the menu. Some people just want to talk about stuff with a few people, they don’t want to be influencers or to mainline the zeitgeist.
Some people are from groups endangered by online hate and violence, or experience precarity such that they just can’t afford to have every word on the permanent record. Some people are just shy.
I am a hyperoverentitled thick-skinned white boy who can laugh publicly at online assholes without much concern for consequences. It’s crazy to think that social media should be exclusively optimized for people like me. (View Highlight) - The Fediverse needs to get its content-licensing shit together. (View Highlight)
