Agreed, I can dare to dream they'd go full Radio Shack even.

Worse, this particular one is a meta-shitpost and nobody likes the word meta ever since Zuck stole it.
The doomscroll is all there is. The good news about that is that anyone can emulate it.
What got replaced already was the oligopoly on user-created content. That's all that matters.
It doesn't need to replace anything, that's a sports mentality applied to the free flow of information. What this decade has taught us is that the doomscroll is all there is. Reddit, Tiktok, Twitter, etc. all have constant scrolling through content as their main feature. It's a feature that's extremely reproducible. What the fediverse does is take power away from the corporations that want to make money off of the flow of user-created content. By the fediverse's existence, whenever some company wants to rate-limit or ban 3rd party apps, the people can now just say: "Nah."
This is like asking someone to check in on your ex, sure it sounds like a good idea, but...
I mean lemmyshitposts on Lemmy.world is where I'm seeing the most but I'm new here and don't really know how to write that out.

Nah son, I'm new here but I'm from the old school...past Digg, past Fark, back to mIRC. Someone would have to shit continuously for 3 days straight to grab my attention.
But maybe we hate Kidney beans.
"Beat a path to thy neighbor's door" still applies to us. I've explained it to people that I go in and out of feeling social, I expand and contract basically in cycles. When I'm not responsive to "you" I'm not being responsive to anyone else either, my world has shrunk and I go introverted again for a time. It has nothing to do with how I feel about you, I just get like that and I always have.
This has worked really well for me, with the people who are willing to get it. Often they tell me it's the same for them.
I can't stress this part enough: People are making up reasons for why you aren't responsive in the absence of you telling them why. The imagined situation, due to all of our little self esteem and confidence issues, is that it's about how you feel about them in particular. I'd tried to explain this to my mom so many times over the years and what eventually did it was me explaining that I go "invisible" on Steam and Battle.net for instance when I'm like that. I even hide from the people I just play video games with. She recalled her sister being a bit of a recluse and got it finally. Your examples might be different, but you do owe your friends that explanation of what it's like to be you, so that they don't think this is what it's like to be them.
