I'm the same. I only follow one subreddit, and I barely post and interact here. I've completely removed any and all news sources too. There's nothing i can do about any of the stories the news throws up. More people would get healthier is they got offline.

Those are rookie numbers.

Gotta pump those numbers up!

That number is way too low, we ought to be at more than that right now.

They're bored, and the algorithm is the hook.

They just need something else to do

X for doubt. Remember, users had no reason to sign up for a Facebook or Instagram account in the first place. Users just willingly gave information away to these evil corporations at will. I could very well see the future of the Fediverse growing. The past few months of using Lemmy and scrolling Mastadon has been amazing.

👌👍 this will definitely happen 🙄

You people will repost any propaganda that fits your objective.

You all honestly believe social media and a large chunk of Internet traffic is just going to go away in 2 years? Jesus Christ this article is from a fucking link farm FFS.
