Sometimes I visit BlueSky and... it's not that folk on there are bad in any profound way, but I always leave the place with a sort of unquantifiable misanthropy. Something about the place just makes me want to escape to the wilds. I don't know whether it's the omnipresent Americanism or the fact that all posts take the form of a critique on a critique on a critique, but the atmosphere is just crushingly claustrophobic. It seems like everybody is desperate to convince themselves that they're part of some intellectual priesthood. Just exhausting stuff.

I like fedi. It is not perfect, and it has its own strains of mad cow disease, but it's also comfortable, like a pair of shoes one has owned for a decade
