fedi is one of the only sources of good online counterculture on the net i've found. what happened to hacker culture. where are the rest of the internet punks. why don't more people care

idk how to convey what i'm angry about. why do so many people look at all of these awful "influences" and "content creators" and not see something so inherently wrong with these terms. are the rest of us nothing more than people to influence, or content consumers? it's so transparently inhuman. the thought that fedi is one of the only human-feeling spaces on the net i've seen makes me wonder how other people cope with this mass alienation.

i'm glad that people here celebrate who they are, what they do, and what they stand for. but at the same time we're all kind of preaching to the choir when we say things like "privacy is dead" or "trans rights are human rights." not many here will disagree, much of it isn't worth repeating to the same crowd at this point.

i think my thought is really a question of "how can we demonstrate these ideals to everyone outside of this immediate scene?" why aren't we doing anything? should we be trying to be noisier in other spaces?

@wizard But do people in other spaces even want that? It's not like they aren't aware of the fact that people with more obscure opinions do exist, they are just not interested in them. Some people just like to post some lowest common denominator stuff and enjoy that a lot agree with them or strongly disagree and get triggered. Some prefer a non-linear RPG with multiple plot lines, some prefer… Subway Surfers. To each their own.
