Just seems like everything is “this company did this to their employees” and less about “this novel messaging protocol offers these measured pros and cons.” Or similar

And yes, I could post things, but I’m referring to what hits the top, 12h.

Can anyone rec communities with less of a biz and politics and wfh vs in-office vibe?

    Since when do people need to take into account if anyone else cares when posting to social media? They’re not content creators serving an audience.

    I get it’s obnoxious sometimes but people are going to sound off about the things they care about on social media. That’s the whole point.

    i get that the fediverse has a high nerd-count (I’m one of them), but the “switch to Linux” sentiment is so tedious

    I genuinely don’t understand why people think this is odd. Think for a second about what the fediverse is and what it represents.

    Why are we here? Why are we on the fediverse and not reddit or twitter? They both have more content, more intuitive systems, and more mature (if terrible) UXs. So why are we here?

    The fediverse represents the same basic thing as a Linux OS for the average consumer: an escape from corporate controlled, locked down, and increasingly bastardized ecosystems. An open source alternative that, while taking a little more effort, rewards the user with relief from the bullshit they want to escape.

    Of course it’s popular here. How could it not be?

    You’ll also find early adopters tend to be more willing to put in the effort to learn new systems, and we’re barely out of the early adopter stage for the fediverse.

      I mean, this whole post is about what content is preferable in this specific community.
