I'm tired of humanity.
Tired of the news, because it's about humanity.
Except it isn't. It's humanity making up stories about humanity.
That's how fucking pathetic humanity is: that it can't even just say what it actually is and/or is actually doing.
It's gotta be stories. *Fiction*.
Always.
Gemini has been a little bit of an escape from that. It doesn't seem nearly the incessant barrage of lies. Feels more like accurate accounts of actual daily lives, and the inner worlds going through them.
That said, it seems lonely as fuck. I've seen some hokey commenting mechanisms, and of course you can reference other links and maybe people recognize they've been referred to, and write another post saying that happened. Or there are a few endpoints that present link referencing hierarchies. Yep.
But, Jesus, it's so much work to attempt to follow. And maybe that's a good thing, and I'm just not "there" yet.
But this honestly feels mostly like sending bytes to /dev/null.
