I have said this before:

A lot of journalists, influencers, etc have a problem with fedi because they don’t bother understanding the format

They’re used to platforms that work like this:
- share hot take
- receive likes

The fedi works differently:
- Engage with the community
- Connect with like minded folks regularly so they see you as a peer
- Eventually share your hot take
- Get responses
- Interact

And there you have it. That’s how you make friends instead of just followers.

Americans, Iranians, and people around the world deserve real assurance that their lives won’t be thrown into chaos because a reckless president wakes up and posts a stream of threats on Truth Social.

This war is killing civilians in Iran and across the region, and its consequences are being felt here at home. This isn’t just a foreign policy disaster — it’s an economic one. A wider war will drive up costs and make everyday life harder for working people.
