Forcing every kind of interaction into a singular "feed" is one of the biggest design issues of social media.

I can't call it a mistake, because it's very much not. It's meant to create the perception of convenience and simplicity, as a way to distract from the insidious fact that it demands all participants on the platform to compete for an arbitrarily finite slice of follower-attention. It goes really well with visibility-control algorithms.

By nature, this design will create cultures of conformity and compliance, at the expense of those who are different. This is a huge part of how tech design reinforces the Fedi's cultural whiteness problem.

Community cannot and will not thrive in an atmosphere of forced similarity. Whatever tools of digital community emerge, they will, by necessity, work very differently than social media.

Does anyone have any resources/communities/etc. (or firsthand experience you're willing to share) with mild to moderate ME/CFS?

I'm very well acquainted with what severe cases are like, and that's definitely not me, but I'm slowly starting to realize that I've probably had ME/CFS since I was a teenager and not really understood it, and I could use some points of comparison.

(Boosts are fine.)
