This isn't a knock on the fediverse - I have tremendous respect for the community here, or I wouldn't even post this - but the cratering of social media by oligarchs in the last year or five just makes me so unbelievably sad sometimes. These incredible communities have been destroyed by greed and it makes it so hard to invest emotionally in anything any more. This is particularly hard when you're an introvert & those spaces were a huge support. I wonder how many, like me, just haven't recovered.

I used to want to participate and be a part of online communities and now I just post a photo here and there and dip out because every place I've ever felt a part of burned to the ground. That's not something I like or feel good about, btw, but I also have a really hard time "being myself" anywhere and seeing rich douches torch my home again and again makes it so hard to invest energy in rebuilding. Especially when energy is so hard to come by. The internet is a goddamn mess right now.

You fediverse people are the one bastion of the internet not owned and manipulated by corporate interests at the moment and I am grateful for that. I am glad that you folks are out there. I do feel like too many bloody chunks of my spirit were torn out by the Musks of the world, to the degree that I barely exist online any more, but it warms my cold soul a bit to know that the community here still rocks. Thanks for that.

@AbandonedAmerica There seems to be a lot of people on mastodon.social that want to change this.

@AbandonedAmerica The thing about freedom nobody talks about enough is that it gives wings to both good and arseholes. Still worthy!

@AbandonedAmerica @ljs Or one horribly weak tea …(As a person who got from Dunkin’ Donuts their “regular” coffee expecting a regular cup of coffee, I still haven’t forgiven the drinks they are serving in those colonies).

@mcepl @AbandonedAmerica @ljs Please don't judge us by Dunkin. I had a wonderful espresso here last week that would have been excellent even in Rome. Now if we could just learn the joys of a long black....

@Secret_Squirrel @mcepl @AbandonedAmerica yeah similar to English food being terrible. I mean it is terrible, but you can find some food here that isn't English!Fish and chips can be really nice in a stodgy kind of way and quality of that varies WILDLY. You basically won't get good fish and chips in the South East.South West and North of England/Scotland - yes.

@ljs @AbandonedAmerica @Secret_Squirrel I am actually a big fan of SOME English food … not mentioning steaks, which are obviously awesome, I liked steak & kidney pie, and the beef wellington looks like an awesome idea (I haven’t had it yet, and it must be quite pricey, right?). Mint in meat is a horrible idea, though.https://youtu.be/e86Z4hgBkSY

@mcepl @AbandonedAmerica @Secret_Squirrel problem is a lot of the good versions of these meals are actually very French.Beef Wellington is very good, steak we can't claim I'd say that's French in origin.I'm not a huge fan of steak + kidney pie but again the good ones will be in a French style :)This is something that can sort of hide some of the sins...

@ljs @AbandonedAmerica @Secret_Squirrel Yes, of course, there is that old saying, that the only good English cuisine is the French one, but I really don’t agree with it completely. Although, the beef bourguignon I got in Oxford was the thing I have very wild dreams till this day, that was absolutely heavenly stuff (and expensive, but that goes without saying for French food).
