We all know there's a barrier, albeit fairly low, to the fediverse proper, but on the other hand, I remember seeing a video once about how people's attention span is so fucked by Instagram and all that that they comment with questions already answered in the post, for example (obviously I can't find it now in the sea of opinion-piece video essays about it). In a way the barrier to entry is a boon to the fediverse proper in all arenas bar financing.

If anything, this is how the Internet used to be: there is a small technical barrier to entry, but if you can't be bothered to learn you'll struggle.

And the Internet certainly used to be better.

Personally, I blame the tankies. The hoard of people dedicated to harassment on Hexbear is a big part of why I'm considering other platforms.

Have you tried using an instance that defederates hexbear? There are quite a few: https://sopuli.xyz, https://discuss.online/

I'll look into migration when I'm sure I want to stay. I'm p.emotionally unstable ATM and don't want to try something new and not know if I hate it because it's a bad fit or if it's because my head meat got fucked by the world.

Edit: I appreciate it though. You're a good person that does good work.
