   Thanks for continuing to care about things, fedi. I'm glad to be part of a space that, despite all the apathy of the world, wants to be part of shaping towards something better.

     I'm not claiming that the fediverse doesn't have its problems. It certainly has its drama. We even have a term for that.

     But recently I've been feeling depressed about how little it feels like, despite all the urgent problems of the world, people feel like it's worth trying to participate in changing them.

     But I see people on here dissatisfied with the status quo every day. And people are trying, often culturally and even technically, to do good and different things.

     I'm glad for that. It brings me hope.
