first it was Twitter, but now, even the fediverse is becoming shouting into the void.

i mentioned this trend a few months ago, but it's only worsened since then. my signal-to-noise ratio is getting steadily worse. and i'm still failing to make meaningful connections with people, old or new. maybe i'm following the wrong people. or maybe the medium is simply not up to the task for me.

i don't feel at home here, sorry. gonna take another break. maybe things will be different in a few weeks.

I'm being more selective with who I let follow my account - especially people I don't really know.

I'm not eager to discuss some topics here - especially politics and other "hot button" topics - especially with people I haven't gotten to know better. This is more my sanctuary than the average Twitter account.

If I don't know you and you follow me, a predominance of those subjects in your TL is more likely to get a reject from me, at least initially. Sorry, try again later.

i wonder how many of these people have read a single line of Stanislaw Lem's science fiction? He gets "we fucked ourselves over" right in the way only someone who lived under the Iron Curtain can do.

good "Cliffs Notes" article on bad leadership:

do people even still know what Cliffs Notes are? Or Monarch Notes?

ABOUT FUCKIN' TIME.
