Or maybe it is that bad and I’m just tuning it out? I pass by a lot of stuff that I don’t interact with.

It hasn’t really been my experience here. Yeah there is some.
Have you tried being less aimless at what you subscribe here? Do you come here because you want to connect with information, or just mindlessly doom scroll and consume?
If you’re not intentional about your social media tools, you will have a bad time.
Nice writeup
Mark Robinson has a pretty nice truck!
I also haven’t used it in a few years. Chat systems in general don’t cooperate with the way my brain works.
It’s kinda like lemmy here, but a little more pain because not only do you have to pick your provider, but you also need to be very mindful of how your key pair is managed. Like… don’t just uninstall a client without going through the effort of trusting and verifying a new one first, or you may lose the ability to decrypt a lot of history and also break trust with relationships you have.
Security first is a major concern in the system, so it doesn’t leave a lot to the imagination unfortunately.
That said, once you convince yourself to set it up, and convince anyone else to do the same, it works pretty nicely. It’s like an inner venn diagram of discord, telegram and IRC.
Share your love with me in my ass
Matrix works pretty good.
I don’t know what they are but I don’t want them
That’s a really long prompt just to have it roll a d2
They were kinda handy to have around tbh. Like, tissue in my backpack during allergy season, or in my car. I think we used them as tp on a camping trip.
At home, we only used them until the usual tp rolls came back into supply.
They came in a pretty big package so we had them around for a couple years, but I think they’re all gone now… So, yeah we used them, maybe not as intended and maybe not favorably, but they saved my ass in 2020, literally!
I got a box of these from Amazon in 2020. (In USA)

The main thing is technical nuances, and a never ending list of them.
But you could start with something like lynx or elinks, but at that point you may as well just use lynx or elinks.
Firefox works great.
You wield the power. Wield it well.
I can’t speak to your experience but I’ve been farting around on the Internet since the mid 90s and I promise nothing ever changes.
Smaller communities tend to be more concise, that is true.
But what you have here is the hand you’re dealt. Complaining isn’t going to change anything any more thank joking. You can be the change you seek here by suggesting a course of action that isn’t asking others to suggest a course of action to you. If you’re seeking a course of action, you can try asking here.
But commenters on tech news aren’t likely to be expert activists, especially in whatever issue is your top concern.
My best advice to you is
practice acceptance of reality, not as defeat but as the first step to understanding and deciding an action
determine how much capacity you, as a person, have to contribute to a cause
determine one cause you care about and can be effective at contributing to
After doing those things, SEEK OUT like minded groups who have leadership and self discipline and are effective.
Let me reframe my previous comment:
If you don’t want to network in person locally, you will need to find a forum whose sole purpose is activism and direct action.
It will not be brought to you, and you will not be recruited. You have to actively go seek it out.
The forum you’re on now is called “technology”. Similar ones, like “news” or literally any other topic that doesn’t solely focus on mobilizing activists will not get you what you’re asking for here.
