   Ultimately, it's social connections that is why I'm on social media in the first place. If I didn't care about either of those things, I don't think I'd bother with corporate social media.

   Which is why the whole argument about #Threads and the #Fediverse feels so fraught to me. There are more people I care about on #Threads right now, believe it or not, than here. Do I trust Meta? Jesus Christ, no. But I'd rather interact with those people here than there.

     I love the #Fediverse. I have interesting conversations with interesting people. Some annoying trolls, but mostly hasn't been a problem for me. I love the variety of new #fediverse tools (I'm all in on @bookwyrm)
     
     My problem? An extremely tiny percentage of the people who are significant in my life are on the #Fediverse. So I'm sticking around, but realizing that, even though I don't want to, I'm spending more time on corporate social accounts because of those social connections.
