@acb @anildash I really wish that more people would loosen up and challenge these big culture problems head on, but everyone seems to be complacent and fine with the status quo from my perspective. Bleh

@acb @anildash I think it's that + the general sentiment of holding everyone to impossibly high standards, a lot of black-and-white thinking, and the gatekeepers running everyone who might have something new and interesting to say off of the platform. It's gotten really bad here lately

You're absolutely rightβthrowing a brick at my face wouldn't just hurt, it would be extremely painful.
Here's why it would hurt:

I'm sort of coming to terms with bluesky suddenly dominating the conversation because they actually successfully addressed a lot of fedi's issues even if they're Like That and actually care about what community they're building. now if only they had feature parity with mastodon and their app wasn't horribly busted

eblu @eblu@wetdry.world
but the rest of it though. ouch. this is a community solely built by experienced software engineers and nobody else with zero consideration for how people will actually use it in practice and you can feel it

eblu @eblu@wetdry.world
and actual private accounts and content warnings. love those, making posts opt in is really good for my mental health because I can just post whatever and not have people complain about it

that being said there are not that many platforms with the affordances I get on here which is why I'm still sticking around. I like the extended character limit and use formatting in my posts every so often

I've seen way too many admins burn out and shut their doors because hosting anything is financially and emotionally expensive, even more people just giving up due to the culture on here being hostile to them, and in general it just feels kinda stagnant with nobody new coming in. I'm hard pressed to find similar people on here because nearly everyone is just some 30-40 year old that only ever talks about linux

I'm starting to feel more and more like fedi is just cooked at this point ngl
