@evan Perfect question. I'm 1h. I see political participation along a "value chain of political labour", which is mainly information procurement and processing. Based on that model, the usage of e.g. the fediverse gains a purpose which is capable to integrate everyones time microressources as political participation beyond the common stereotype of politics. Thereby, it becomes part of your screen time, will be fun and productive.
