A new social me.
How the Fediverse has influenced the way I live my (online) social life now. Especially when you come from Instagram.

@sturmsucht that blog post resonated well with me, thank you. I'm feeling so much better since I left corporate social media behind. The Fediverse is the only place that I find enjoyable.

This explains why I often feel like the only one on Earth who *doesn't* think social media is evil.

The #Fediverse *is* what “social media” means to me. I've heard of Instagram and the rest, but I've never actually used them. I've never struggled with their algorithms. I don't even know what that's like.

So when politicians talk about banning social media, I'm horrified. Why would anyone want to ban this place? This place isn't hurting anybody. And where else would I socialize?
