I've honestly kind of stopped using this account except to very rarely check in on friends
there's a lot of reasons why but a big one would be 'using fediverse is an even bigger headache for me than twitter and I'm also using that less lately'
bluntly: decentralization did not, even remotely, have any of the benefits the platform promised, and a lot of that boils down to worsening the already extant problem of context-collapse that seems inherent to social media systems.
instead of one giant stream of bullshit, I instead get twelve concurrent streams of bullshit that do not feel any less aggravating for being smaller and moving slower. it's even more advantageous for bigots trying to dodge blocks because you can just rotate servers.
@hystericempress I tried the fedi feed once or twice and then turned it off. I just keep track of my friends and follows and ignore the wider fediverse completely at this point. <..<;
