How do you deal with being the only one posting in a community (aka "shouting into the void")?

On Facebook, before I stopped, I tried writing well sourced political pieces and no amount of engagement was enough - when there was none it was… Annoying maybe, or disheartening. It made me think about why I was doing it.

I stopped posting on Facebook and I’m slowly moving to my own site and the fediverse.

So I’d say reflect on why you’re doing it and hopefully align your actions or expectations with that introspection.

Curious, what is your site? Did you post it somewhere on the Fediverse? In which community?

I haven’t yet; moving from a Jekyll based blog to a different stack at the moment. Been doing a lot of digital migrations like to proton and such this past month.

I’ll post it when there’s enough on there to be proud of or worth showing. Thanks for the curiosity.

What’s important is we never stop trying to connect, we keep pushing for meaningful dialogues and educating ourselves and our neighbors.
