@ben several of my normie acquaintances have started newsletters, lamenting the lack of reach of Instagram et al. Added me without permission. And now they regularly share « blog posts » that always try to sell me something at the end (their services, books, seminars, etc.). Cherry on top is that if reply with a thoughtful comment about what they wrote, they rarely write back. It’s all about money money money.
Not surprisingly, none of them are on the Fediverse.
The cultural divide is so stark
