One thing I'm noticing about the Fediverse, and even Dreamwidth, although I love being there, is that they contain large numbers of specific groups, including those with mental disabilities/problems, the tecnology, programming, and/or gaming obsessed, those who want to save the world or at least be involved in it, vegans, and the politically obsessed. It's driving me mad! Normally, I seek those who love luxury, literature, classical music, theatre, fashion (particularly antique menswear or at least suits and ties), general cooking and/or fine dining, wine, antiques, history, and high culture. But lately, I've been finding myself asking "where are the normal people"! I didn't include the pet, nature, garden, or science people, or even the photographers in my above description because I love them and they are why I'm still here. But I'd like to go through one day without reading about the evils of meat-eaters or capitalism and how it must be overthrown, quarrels regarding those who follow this or that politician, how this or that platform and owner there of is bad and why we need to get people off of it, people's mental problems, or wars in foreign countries! Please, if anyone can suggest accounts for me to follow, I would appreciate it!

in reply to Limnobotanik • • •@Limnobotanik I certainly wouldn't call myself a normal person by any stretch of the word (and you kind of need money for culture, theatre, fine dining and art generally, I used to love going to the opera but it's not for me any more and I barely know anyone for whom it's still an option), and do occasionally yell about capitalism - I absolutely despise what it's done to the craft of sewing, the art of fashion, and anyone wanting to make a living off them without being screwed over - but try to balance out anything negative with something to actually do about it. (Seek out second hand and vintage fashion, learn to make your own, know what your style is and stick to it, pay people for their craft, respectively!)
I mostly post cats, crafts and joy, though. The world is a harsh enough place as it is, I'd prefer to be an island of solace in it.
