I am just on crochet at the moment moving house and everything is in storage. I have been dying some yarns and bleaching some yarns though to make something new from something I don’t like.

It feels inevitable. You stay sane and protect your inner peace. I am in the camp this is not left/right old/young this is rich playing with the poor. There are far more of us and we have a lot of common language.

I have been questioning in the last few month what can i do, i agree, the old internet is not the way, but for me tech and the internet has become a dirty word and somewhere i no longer want to be.
I have become quite conscious of my where my money goes, i also probs need to be more conscious of where my internet traffic goes and where i can support grassroots (online) communities.

I have been considering it. Not sure what on. I love to craft, make reuse, there are a few here but i guess there could be space for more.

One of the things for me is over the last few years i have suppressed my inner geek, censored my voice and gone along with the common group areas. I have tended to read rather than be part of something. I am kinda techie always have been however I have slept walked into a hole that I need to get out of, and instead start contributing to real communities of interest. Spaces i love, spaces where people share my passion.
I think the benefits of diversity the fediverse and infact the world we live in needs communicating. Convenience (or what i believed to be) has been a hell of a drug that I am waking up to and walking away from. And that means me getting involved in healthy internet spaces. Spaces that work me not me not the other way round. As a real life analogy, Supermarkets are great, but as i get older i am going back to farmers markets and boot sales, i like the experience, i find things i didn’t know i wanted.

Its finding it in the first place. It wasn’t even a tough question it was actually about changing a plug on something, i just wanted to double check it was suited, but the effort of finding out the info outweighed the effort to find. Something like iFixit is a good idea but you have to find it in the first place. These places are so buried now.

Agree with these points so much. It feels like I have to learn how to sign up, then learn to use it, rather than just use it.

Its been driving me crazy, I am so close to abandoning the internet and going back to old reading just out of spite. yesterday I went looking on how to fix something simple a small electric item and all i got was adverts for a replacement, I use DDG and i closed the screen at three pages. I miss when you could simply search a question and the answer was there. Excited to see the resistance starting to emerge.
