Anyone who could read what you're saying is aligned to you. Perhaps they
disagree on specific implementation details, but those can be worked out and
the best option tends to rise to the surface over time.
However, the people who need to read you won't. They have their own social
media sites, remember? Like Facebook or Parler or the Fediverse. Too bad

@user-138 if you don't want feedback then why don't you just... not open the
replies? leave them unread? if you feel the need to justify your actions (such
as not reading replies to your controversial posts) then somewhere deep down
you feel like those actions are unjustified, and needing an explanation. which
makes your point feel less valid to others, since even you don't believe in it
enough to guarantee it to be the truest expression of your soul.

I can 100% relate, to all of this.
we are multifaceted. all people are.
on social media, you follow someone for a particular facet, and if they don't
like your other facets well then it wasn't meant to be.
there's also no shame in pruning people who post things that upset you or that
aren't interesting.

if you want to share a post without the "fedi algorithm" (as in, the machine
learning bots who scrape the open web) then share something that's simple and
benign but located close to your desired message. Include a symbol or
something for your followers that means "go here and poke around a bit, you'll
find what I'm pointing at"
alternatively, for a different effect, you can boost things that are saying
the words you want to say but in a different context. Like someone posts

when I yearn for the future, I find myself drawn to the past - the natural
world around me inspires me in ways that my computer never could. Just as my
computer inspires me in ways that a tree, a brook, a cloud alight might not.
though the future may be terrifying, we're here for it together. And nothing
has changed in our humanity, save for our slight addiction to social media.

... licorice is typically considered unlikable. interesting if true 😉
kinda wonder what it says about our collective viewpoint, as measured against
licorice as a control variable. solely for gauging proportion, but like... an
interesting exercise in collective orientation and comprehension.

true, but what is a poem if not a silly construction of phrases? Those words
don't belong together, what are you doing! And yet it fills you will a feeling
that the author intended, thus being poetry as a joke.
problem is if everyone says the same joke, it gets kinda... old... hence why
you should express yourself as much as you can.
I wonder if fewer people are "alternative" these days because they all started
hanging out on the internet and trying to differentiate themselves amongst
each other instead of amongst "normal people"? Weird thought, srry haha

if you'd like I can give you a lua script which will take your fediverse
archive and turn it into a pdf which you can edit or print or whatever. Might
be a fun diversion from posting. You can reply to yourself, add
clarifications, change some things, put things in a new light, add context,
etc... before you know it you'll have something printable. Could even pull out
your best stuff and make zines.
should require just a little configuration to suit your setup. That's part of
how I stay "productive" without posting all the time.

if I wanted to accomplish this goal, I would host a fediverse server on a
raspberry pi and post the link around the building (the owners will remove it
so you gotta keep posting them)
then, potlucks.
then, friendships.
then, organization.
be patient with them. people are slow to be constructive.
