That was a really good one. I absolutely agree that breaking things back up online would be so much more helpful to society. Smaller communities online were far better.

This is one thing I like about the Lemmy/Reddit format. It (somewhat) helps isolate different communities and esspecially on smaller instances/communities/subreddits making it easier to get to know people, as well as easier to moderate.

Our brains aren't truth detectors, they're survival engines.

How that plays into social media just blew my mind.

why would the floor at Twitter need leveling?

[–] green_biri 3 points 10 months ago

Maybe not the floor, but the CEO surely could have some

Funny that the video saying large online social networks are ruining the fabric of our society ends with "Follow us on large online social media networks!" I guess they don't think unplugging from large social media is all that important after all.

Their videos are purely informative so I think they can get a pass on this one, better to spread awareness of these things than to not.

Can people you don't love have correct ideas too?
