when u avoid #TheDiscourse

I am subscribing to #thediscourse #onhere about #extrapolations. It’s not good. But it’s interesting! https://tv.apple.com/us/show/extrapolations/umc.cmc.4uoqxmxlnipm9zsc88bkjyjx4

@joshuafoust #TheDiscourse

Just to complete this thought, I let myself get very wrapped up in #thediscourse and everything. I think it was partly #doomscrolling and part having a job that was very mission focused.
It’s been very disillusioning to realize how much I was being played by it. Things that were important and bubbling up in 2021 seem largely dead.
Im largely moving on. The past is the past and I’m just focusing on myself. I post (read, shout into the void) these things because I’m shocked by how addictive those concerns were. In one way, and only one, I was not much different from a QAnon person: I let online concerns dominate my life.

Pulled a double shift & just got back home. Nice to not have to work tomorrow.

My awesome #artsy #community #totebag - from #TheDiscourse #IndependentMedia based in #CowichanValley on #VancouverIsland - arrived yesterday. I love the #grassroots #activism design & look forward to using it often. I got it as supporter swag, for subscribing in #support 🙌

i guess I’ll do one of these #introduction #intro posts…. i live in the #philly area with wife & my 2 year old kid. Vaguely #lefty politics, I was a big Bernie guy. I’m looking to find people talking about #thediscourse #cooking #movies and whatever books/video games/ tv show I’m into at the moment. Currently watching #andor like it a lot. Reading Alex Pheby’s #Mordew right now.

Actually legit not in reaction to anything immediately specific right now, but the ideas in this article are very relevant to many of the #fediverse flare-ups that happen from time to time, and the more people who have a nuanced understanding of the currents, eddies, and dynamics of #socialcapital/social power, the more resilient this space will be:
