I think the biggest problem the fediverse has is a lack of diversity. This is the same problem platforms like Bluesky have. It's chock full of Americans, so most of the content leans American. I'm not American and don't really have too much of a problem with American content (it's entertaining), so while I've gotten slightly used to Americentrism on the internet, at least on Reddit there were niches and local communities i could use to detox when it got too much. This is lacking here.
I'm not really sure what the solution is. Back when i first joined, the niche communities were burgeoning and quite active. Now it seems like they've mostly stagnated.
Thanks for the thoughts. I'm well aware that there are a lot of good people making a genuine effort to build something and genuine props to them for that; really. I just feel like things have slowed down a lot since when i first joined, and I've grown tired of the "sameness".

In what sense are you using the term socialist?
He's a sophist. When you back him into a corner with proper sources his last line of defense is to call "propaganda"
Sounds like an ad
Jeez, I think i joined right when this was dying, or something similar
Why do you ragebait?
Leave me alone bro
Oh nice i see. Maybe i have to start learning German just to see whether what's going on on your side is more to my flavour😅
Different platforms, same problems
Good for you
The what?
Are you calling me American?
Maybe i do need to try that. I've only ever blocked specific users/belligerent communities. Any ideas on what filter out?

I care about politics, but not enough that it saturates my feed. I think these two can coexist👍
Case in point ☝️
I've been here almost 2 years...
