What I will also say about the Fediverse is how important it remains while it is dismissed because social media remains conveniently cringe-inducingly trivialised as (to quote the article) "moments spent goofing around with mutuals on Bluesky, or waxing romantic about the joys of human creativity and art-making in an increasingly AI-infested world" - this "awwshucks" silly fun little thing where it doesn't matter if the techbros your article is criticising own the social network you like to play around on. Sorry but this - the Fediverse - is praxis too, friend. That kind of disconnect, as I explored in this article, goes hand-in-hand with supposed antifascists' disconnect on Covid, following along with ableist and downright eugenicist fascist narratives that create barriers for Disabled activists to even be part of the process that becomes reduced to unsafe, unmasked get-my-face-seen photo-ops for clout-chasing "leaders of movements": https://www.mediaactivist.com/recovering-from-shock/
