It's very simple, most of the posts here are circle jerks (Linux, FOSS, boy howdy aren't we better than Reddit, communism) or rage bait.

I only come here when I'm having a good day and I want to reel myself in a bit

Edit: see below to see how far Lemmy users will go to circle jerk how much better they are than Reddit

That's not lemmy, that's all social media (albite divisive topics are a bit different among different communities).

This is a hot take, but I think humanity is slowly turning it's back on social media because of it's toxic nature. You can only open a browser and get your nuts kicked so many times before you finally decide you don't like getting your nuts kicked.

Are you living in a parallel universe or something? Are we talking for the same humanity that is 24/7 on Instagram and on tiktok?

I really wish you're right but I'm afraid that the minorities you may know who just abandoned Facebook are not representing humanity

Hmm, yeah I definitely see how I am biased there. I've been on social media since its inception, so my opinion is likely influenced mostly by people who have experienced social media for ~2 decades and are sick of it now.
