I see more and more people getting angry about interactions with strangers on Fedi.
A wise man once said that social media is like writing on the wall of a public toilet. I honestly believe in the power of writing, but a toilet wall is just not the right medium for a whole bunch of things people want to write about. Yet they are used, because everything is a nail if we have a hammer I guess.
Personal homepages, blogs without comment sections still exist though, and work by definition as one-way communication channels. Hell, on Fedi you can have your followers-only private restroom too!
(Public) social networks are built so you can get feedback from random strangers, this is their power. If this is not what you want, there are alternatives.
