When I concluded that corporate social media was empowering the rise of fascists, spying on the population for big bucks, and encouraging fear and extremism, I decided to leave. That was about 3 years ago, May.
Since joining the Fediverse via Mastodon, I have been delighted to create my own feed -- as one does here -- full of interesting and interested people who express the best of what a civilization can offer. Even when we don't always agree with one another, we generally talk it out.
I, for one, am very happy here.
The Fediverse that I've curated for myself is everything I want in social media.
It's not perfect, but it is very engaging, broad, and very entertaining.
Thank YOU for asking.
