Ideas are easy. Movements are hard.

For instance: "Gays deserve equal rights." <-- Cool.

How? Peaceful or violent protests? Embrace or rebuff heterosexual support? Strive to come across as "just like everyone else" or "our own people"? What about outting? What about fringes?

On a social network with only like-minded people (the others are blocked and can't see my posts anyway)?

but isn't that a sign of burnout, not a lack of activism?
as well as developing for that network?

I'm confused by your formulation, I don't know what or who you are referring to anymore.

That's probably a sign of burn out.

you stopped being open on larger networks and stuff because of burnout - right?

No, because my account was frozen on Facebook. It was a private account anyway. But yes, I switched my Twitter account to protected because I was getting in too many stressful and fruitless conversations with randos.

And I don't really know if I'm working on Friendica for the sake of it or because I'm using it myself.

I feel like I'm only managing not to do things wrong, which is something, I guess.

Sure, but I don't know how to reach out to people who don't want to hear what I have to say anyway.
