I'm starting to lose my interest in the fedi.

I'm starting to lose my interest in the fedi. Sometimes I feel like I'm in a 1950s café full of people talking endlessly about "The Revolution" or debating the minutiae of Trotsyism, as if talking earnestly to people who already agree with you on a social-justice or political topic could change the world.

I acknowledge that I've contributed to that chatter — a lot — but I also realise it might be healthier if I scaled back and focussed on local Ottawa accounts, shared interests (like classical guitar, gardening, emacs, or tea), and a few Individual accounts that belong to friends and/or are just too fun and ornery to give up.

I haven't decided yet, but if I do unfollow you, it's not a judgement on you or the quality of your posts.

It's not you; it's me.
