Same here! Though I took a 6-month break in between quitting Reddit and joining Lemmy. I remember hoping it would amount to a feeling of liberation but in reality I just felt out of touch with world events and started scrolling through my Google feed instead, which sucked…

I’ve been saying for the past decade that I think the federal government holds way too much power and needs to dissolve. The country is too big for how centralized the power is and the states cannot effectively satisfy their constituents’ needs when they’re so beholden to federal interests. I love the state and city that I live in and I don’t want to have to move across the world in order to live somewhere with sane politics but I’m sick of progress here being delayed because so many of our resources are going to the federal government and being compromised by the interests of the other 98% of the country.
