and yeah, fedi is great in moderation, it does succumb to a lot of the other woes of using social media if you use it way too much. it's a lot less bad due to no algorithmic junk... but a lot of the drama exists lol
i don't use this side of fedi too often, like i check in every few hours or so
but my other fedi account i do check frequently, and it's soul-draining. there's a reason people have the word "meta" muted lmao
