In part because it reminds me a bit of the old internet, with stuff being spread around everywhere.

Being "harder"* to understand than reddit, twitter or other big companies' services is also a good thing, because people should remember that they have a brain and they should use it.

  • "harder" because not everyone understands the fediverse right away, since usability is extremely similar

Highly recommend getting back into reading. I stopped reading books for a while and completely forgot the joy of it. Don't be disappointed if your reading discipline isn't what it used to be. It's like a muscle and I am still in the process of re-training it.

One of the best tools that helped me was signing up for my library's digital service (Libby). It's so easy and accessible that it kind of blew my mind. I also invested in a refurbished backlit e-reader that could display the epub files that I borrowed from the library... Utter magic!

Thanks - I have the entire Stephen King catalog and I think I stopped somewhere around 2017 or so, so I've got a good bit of backlog to catch up to.
