TBH, to the extent that "OMG BLUESKY IS DYING!!!" it's kinda because of this.
There's so much of a focus on horrible American political stuff that very little room is left for anything else. That will quickly drain away any ability to actually DO anything...especially anything political.

Every serious, long term IRL activist I know makes a conscious effort to interject levity and entertainment into their lives. Being constantly miserable is the path to burnout and it’s frankly terrible for recruitment and retention.

But if you think that means that you need to look at EVERYTHING through a nakedly political lens? You're not only hugely tiresome, you don't understand power at all.
This is literally "soft power" in IR theory.
And, yeah, that includes simply enjoying funny cat videos.
