One of the things I like about the fediverse, as a concrete network of real people, is that you all tend to at least recognize the actions of power. Not perfectly, and not universally. But on average, you can see the outcome of some exercise of power, and then point back to the power that produced it.

This means that things don't seem like inevitable, uncontrollable, acts of nature to you. You can imagine a different outcome than the one we got, even if you don't know how to bring it about.

And oh my god is that refreshing. It's something that I have found in zero other places.

@jenniferplusplus true! Never thought about that but now that you mention it, i can compare when I was active on other social media! Like, the news were sort of "this big problem is happening and is terrible!" and here is more like "this big problem is happening because of this and these people and this philosophy and this structure" and I dunno, maybe its just that the people that think similar just reunited here on mastodon (eco chambeeer 😂)
