It became the only reliable source of information I had. People posted links with a minimal amount of commentary, picking and choosing the best content from other social media networks. They’re not doing it to “build a brand” because that’s not a thing in the Fediverse. It’s too disjointed to be a place to build a newsletter subscription base.

I was just talking about this on discord (unironically). Something I genuinely miss about reddit (among other things) is being able to go to a TV show subreddit and engage on topics by strictly quoting lines from the show back at each other. But to have that meant all the other shit, where you can't quote Wayne's World 2 without automod thinking you're advocating violence. The world I want and the world we have cannot seem to co-exist. And I am not sure it should. I'm just not sure it shouldn't either. And my side is always losing.
