@tyil @sun hard pill to swallow: the internet isnt different than it was when i was a kid, or during the infancy of 4chan or anything. there is just insanely more people who choose to flock to platforms that feed their dopamine addiction. the same amount of people are still finding fedi, adjacent sites and communities as were before. the trough was never meant to point this way and trying to nudge it to is not going to provide the outcome you want.
