Pessimistically, I don’t see how the system gets better without full collapse.

But wow imagine a few normal candidates running again. Imagine getting to vote for politics and not in a rule-breaking popularity contest.

It’s disgusting how many times I’ll catch myself opening an app I closed less than 2 minutes ago because I was bored.

My usage dropped for a while, but it’s the only ‘social media’ that doesn’t actively leave me feeling worse about the platform and the world after using it.

Thank you, that looks like a great place to start!

This is probably a stupid question, but for those of you that use Mastodon — how did you find people to follow?

I tried it out a few months ago but I didn’t like the few accounts they recommended, and searching for users or keywords didn’t get me too far either…

Got sick of Reddit, looked for alternatives, found sub.rehab, found Lemmy was common… here I am.
