I remember when RSS first started and I realized I could basically curate my own personal newspaper/magazine and it was the greatest thrill of my online life, and ever since I've realized people HATE that, that's the WORST part of online for them, they just want TV you can fave

I don't even follow anybody, I just reflexively curate via likes and "show me more/less of this", but Bluesky has handed me LOADS of funny content. I've had to cut it down, if anything. Or my Discover feed would be a solid wall of Nancy and Comics Outta Context.

Skimming quickly, I initially misread "the lack of humor" as "it's like a mirror" and, well, yeah, it's all too ironic and plausible that this was some kind of inverted Freudian slip where I read into someone's writing the meaning they actually 𝘴𝘩𝘰𝘶𝘭𝘥´𝘷𝘦 written behind what they wrote.
