I feel ya. It’s like there’s this widespread dulling down of folks, and what you’re talking about is a piece of it. I’m spotting it more and more in my day-to-day life. Do folks not remember we’ve got the internet to look up solutions for most stuff? Some of the silly things people do regularly really make you scratch your head. Like, why haven’t we done anything to get us back on track?

Totally with you, pal. The fediverse does feel like it could be the answer we’re looking for. Fingers crossed that the majority will catch on to this too.

Man, I seriously hope you’ve hit the nail on the head. I’m holding on to the idea that good folks out there are all trying to make things a bit less sucky for the rest of us.

I concur with your viewpoint. There’s no doubt that individuals have historically been catalysts for change. However, my concern lies in the recent trend where these change-makers seem to be acting against society’s broader interests.

Take the French Revolution as an example - a time when collective action effectively enforced justice, albeit in a harsh manner. Large groups came together, stood up for what was right, and held the wrongdoers accountable. It’s a compelling case for the power of collective action.

In contrast, the current pattern of individualistic actions appears less beneficial for society as a whole. That’s a trend we might want to discuss and address further.
