I've come to realise that fully federated social media is actually a bad idea and I don't want to interact with people who don't share my values.

@Hyolobrika I knew a alt-right guy who felt the same try facebook if you're a leftie or maybe even minds...

Actually, I think I need to stop interacting with strangers.

@Hyolobrika

i don't think you want an echo chamber, you just want a place with no idiots. which doesn't exist of course.

maybe just quitting this shit is the best idea. i had this feeling too, yesterday. just not worth it. on the other hand, i'd have gone mad without fedi during the big covid scare.

i really don't know.

(this is in part an answer to a post of you in another thread but i figured i keep this here)

i found that i always have to police my ideas and personality in other places. i was banned from some places for absolute bullshit reasons. it's their place, sure, but fuck em if they can't take a joke. i don't tend to be overly aggressive, but i like edgy jokes. those tend to be fine here (except on those extra-politically-correct german instances :)

i think it grates more on me if i have the feeling that i have to play a role all the time. i just mute people and block instances who annoy me. i at times have just posted a rant and muted everyone not agreeing. it's liberating ;)

maybe just try to engage less? it's a bit like the university talk we had a while back: you have to choose your battles.
