The title I have assigned this article is intentionally boring. The article’s body goes out of its way to not provide simple summaries, silver bullets, or otherwise give a single size fits all answer to everything. The author actually gave it a fun title that, I felt, did a slight disservice to their overall point, but hey, we all make our own decisions.

I thought there was some interesting stuff in there about the Fediverse at large, even if that wasn’t expressly what the author was getting at.

    …screaming into the void…

    Yeah, to me, following people on Twitter is like an online and more socially acceptable form of following that mentally unstable person that’s walking along the street yammering on to themselves about how everyone’s a scumbag and the world is out to get them.

      Mostly yes, but sometimes people drop the occasional kernal of wisdom or knowledge. Sometimes it’s about finding “your people.”
