Which is a radical act to fight tech billionaires like Zuckerberg and Musk. Who have both been reasonably accused of enabling some incredibly awful stuff.
Contributing to the fediverse is probably not the most efficient way to fight for human rights and against billionaires and fascists, but it certainly makes some sort of tiny contribution. So I wouldn’t call it pointless. :)
This does make me feel a little better about my chronic internet addiction. Early on I commented even more because so many good posts sat with zero comments and I wanted more people to view them and hopefully add their own comments.
Edit: I also want to add being online all the time is why I volunteered to mod. I was not aware every one of my comments would appear with the mod icon at the time :|
I’m with you there. On Reddit I was overwhelmingly a lurker, but here I actually make an effort to regularly comment on things purely because I hope to get others talking. Once my work is done, I’ll go back to watching from the shadows. (In the least creepy way possible.)
Single-handedly helping the fediverse thrive.

Exactly. I’m not wasting my time. I’m fighting The Man.

Yeah I don’t find it pointless at all. Doing my part too.
