The exhaustion is the point, but the tech companies are amplifying the power.
What’s most exhausting is that those who are not below water or aren’t close yet refuse to acknowledge the reality and that something has to be done sooner rather than later.
I think the Fediverse still suffers from the “screaming” issue, but some strategic mutes and hiding boosts from users, plus never looking too long at the “all” sections and it’s pretty nice.
