Probably pretty close. Like it dawned on me today.
With threads happening and everyone talking about it, the whole hype of social media as a general thing is just tiring and boring in the end.
I feel like I get the fediverse enough after being here since last year, and have mapped out where it’s up to. Honestly, overall, I’m a little disappointed. Not with any of the individuals who have built the stuff … awesome really. But overall as an ecosystem there’s hype around it too. And sorting through that has been exhausting. Realising, IMO, that the fediverse is probably behind where it needs to be at this point for humanity has kinda deflated me. Realising that, as ironic as it is, the fediverse is full of a lot of opinions about the fediverse relative to the amount of people making and trying to improve it, or trying to be helpful and constructive. Realising that the effect of the big social era is significant and has shaped how people view the internet and will take some time to ware off. Realising that there’s a lot of trying to be in the best place and not so much trying to be the best person going on (in general at least).
It’s all been exhausting.
Honestly getting good vibes from lemmy, having always preferred this format to the others. Maybe I’ll just chill more here!!
