@J12t I would sorely miss the sparks of creativity, the celebration of nerdy triumphs and epic fails, the marvel of a knitted cap made for an underwhelmed cat. More than entertainment, it's a connection with others and their unabashed interests.

Outside of the fediverse, it's difficult for that spark to come through, as it gets drowned out by influencers and ads vying for your attention, looking more and more like actual content these days.
