The Fediverse is only worth something if it isn’t just about the Fediverse.

The Fediverse is only worth something if it isn’t just about the Fediverse.
That’s why I make it a point to document the things I love and care about here—games, music, tech, retro finds, fitness logs, all of it. Because at the end of the day, these are the human things that give the network any meaning.
If all we ever talk about is ActivityPub specs, moderation drama, or which server just forked which, then the Fediverse becomes a closed loop—a tech cult mumbling to itself. That’s not culture. That’s maintenance.
The real value is when people bring their lives here. When you scroll and see what others are passionate about—what they’re creating, playing, collecting, cooking, lifting, or rediscovering. That’s when it stops being “just another platform” and starts being an archive of human experience.
So yeah, I post my stuff. Not because I think the world desperately needs another hot take on cassette tapes or Sega Saturn imports. But because documenting what we care about is what makes this place feel alive.
Because in the end, it’s not about the network. It’s about the people who make it worth networking. -

SearingTruth@SearingTruth My point is, we’re preserving our democracy just fine.
And telling me to not enjoy art because of Trump—Trump is your problem, not mine. -

Instead there will ultimately be justice and compassion for all, or none."

SearingTruth@SearingTruth This is the point that you back away because you’re talking like a Puritan. -
