Gabe Kangas (gabek@social.gabekangas.com)'s status on Thursday, 15-Jun-2023 04:56:01 JST Gabe Kangas Nobody noticed, but I took about a month away from the Fediverse to clear my head and obviously I'm back now. But I'm trying to improve the balance between caring about the Fediverse and always being upset by all the potential evils that are around every corner because Mastodon is being shitty, or Facebook is showing up or whatever it is that day. I'm so tired of being angry about things. That's what Twitter was. I just want to enjoy this while still helping it move forward. I don't know where that balance is, though. -

I wondered about not seeing too much, but didn't realise it was a month. Thought you were busy 🤗. Not taking the perl job 😂Gabe Kangas likes this. -

LPS (lps@masto.1146.nohost.me)'s status on Thursday, 15-Jun-2023 06:06:21 JST LPS @rysiek @gabek I've been in the habit of simply unfollowing accounts that tend to post anger provoking subjects or doing my best to just skip over them ...
Curate your feed, make it a positive one;)

And I don't mind when others unfollow or mute or block me.
It's self-care.

Kit Rhett Aultman (roadriverrail@signs.codes)'s status on Thursday, 15-Jun-2023 18:05:58 JST Kit Rhett Aultman @gabek My strategy has always been to focus on my own patch of the garden. That's what I can make better. By analogy, I can't stop transphobia, but I can make my local roller derby league a place where trans people, especially younger ones, can flourish.
You do so much for the Fediverse. Let it be enough.
