idk how to convey what i'm angry about. why do so many people look at all of these awful "influences" and "content creators" and not see something so inherently wrong with these terms. are the rest of us nothing more than people to influence, or content consumers? it's so transparently inhuman. the thought that fedi is one of the only human-feeling spaces on the net i've seen makes me wonder how other people cope with this mass alienation.

i'm glad that people here celebrate who they are, what they do, and what they stand for. but at the same time we're all kind of preaching to the choir when we say things like "privacy is dead" or "trans rights are human rights." not many here will disagree, much of it isn't worth repeating to the same crowd at this point.

i think my thought is really a question of "how can we demonstrate these ideals to everyone outside of this immediate scene?" why aren't we doing anything? should we be trying to be noisier in other spaces?
