  • We’re not the ones commiting the horrors of the world, nor are we the ones able to stop them. It’s not our job, duty or obligation to be confronted by them at all times, in all aspects of our lives.

    Using it as an analogy, how does going to a bunch of kids who can barely take care of themselves and asking them to save the world actually help?

    The people on fediverse already know about the horrors, most are against the horrors and are trying to help. They don’t need more requests or more prodding with a stick. They need more thanks for standing up instead, if anything.

    The target audience is the wide world beyond this place. The ones that can help but don’t. The ones in charge or the ones putting them in charge.

    A successful social interaction requires selecting the right audience and the correct circumstances. And a lot of the communities here ain’t either.
