"the fediverse isn't ready to take over yet" - so put time and attention into making it ready instead of trying to build something completely new. If enough businesses and public figures put their resources into getting the fediverse beefed up (or dumbed down/simplified) to where the public needs it to be to meet their needs, it could happen much sooner. And it'd be better in the long run than whatever replacement will just follow the exact same villain character arc as Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter - sell more shit to you and let the app fucking break.

black people are actual refugees from virtual spaces like twitter, as are queer people...

as the language landscape changes, so does language usage. and this whole notion of trying to police speech in such a way is bit too prescriptive for me tbh. it may be a virtual home but it is still a home in a very real sense where real connections and community are made, so the word refugee definitely applies.

Personally, I'm highly sensitive and need a place during the workday to get away from all the overstimulation. My car is my safe, sacred space that is isolated and quiet, and I have curtains in addition to my sunscreen put across my windshield to block out the light. I can pause and meditate, or take it on the road and go have dinner in my car one night. I can stretch out in the back and nap.

But don't get me wrong, I still take public transportation when it makes sense. Like last month when I went to a festival in the city and it was much cheaper to the 2 buses and the metro rather than pay for parking. Sure it took a bit more time, but I just used the time to listen to podcasts or audiobooks and felt like the time wasn't wasted at all.

So TLDR I'm a both types guy. I like my car because I'm super introverted and need the space to recharge when out in public, but I use public transportation when it's cheaper or makes more sense.
