I mean, take today as an example...We all (myself included) obsessed over the banking crash, which is admittedly an ongoing thing and a big deal. But the moment trading was frozen, people went right back to talking about and how he/she is so bad and stupid and a tranny pedophile...All of which may or may not be true, but is it really worth spending precious brainpower on that?

We ought to be filling our minds, not with gossip, not with vague positivity and empty hope in the currency du jour, but with Jesus, history, survival know-how, pride in our heritage and in God's love for us, and all the great things our ancestors staked their entire purpose and meaning in life on.

But instead we drag each other down. Just a big bucket of crabs.

It didn’t vibrate on my end, how can I turn it on?

My instance is single-user, and I feel like I basically just get a vague potpourri of posts from all over the place. I haven't defederated anyone and basically never block anyone.

The general feeling is that everyone is addicted to drama and negativity in general. The world is an awful place, and we go there to make sure we know just how awful it is and make sure we're not missing any awful headlines. In the absence of awful headlines, we fight each other over whatever we feel like is important to fight over.

Maybe I'm just now starting to see that. I wonder what the average fedi user's time on the network is? A month? A year? I started about a year and a half ago, and as I look back, I don't think I'm better off for the time I've spent.

the grass may be greener here now but give it time. we all said the same thing about masto over twitter.

i’m not noticing it if there is.

As far as I can tell, fedi is a bunch of closeted pedophiles and trannies calling each other pedophiles and trannies all day.

BTC is on fire and GBTC manages to lose more ground from last week. Nice job Barry.
