Is it possible to design a social media app or service that rather than focuses on farming engagement, it tries to promote quality content? (lemmy.world)

Perhaps, but at least my experience with mass transit and walking is that people largely don't interact directly and are doing their own thing.

I think the biggest thing to blame is smartphones. Before phones became commonplace, a few people would wear headphones or whatever, but most didn't. I had lots of conversations on buses and trains and at stops and stations. But now everyone is on their phones instead.
