@norm@misskey.biribiri.dev the fediverse is what people make out of it. sure, some things can only be solved within the software and thats not open to most people. but unlike twitter no one forces a certain behaviour on you for money so ultimately i don't believe the software is made to be "evil", to distract you, to drain you or make you addicted. it sure can do that, especially with fomo, but it's not that it will punish you for shaping your experience the way you like it. and your friends are likely your real friends, so they will still be there for you even after not being online for a day or a week or a month, unlike many twitter/instagram/whatever followers
