Social media isn't "social" anymore. It's algorithmically designed to keep you scrolling. Burnout is inevitable.

- gnoll_of_gozag 2mo agobig normie social media yes, but people still have hella actual conversations on bluesky and mastodon and (i think) they use chronological fields by default
- assimpleaspossi 2mo agoAnd then, tomorrow, it will be some other social media platform because someone said something wrong on one of those. Because they have to. Not because they need to.
- inigyou 2mo agoWhat?
- assimpleaspossi 2mo agoYou heard me.
- pasquinelli 2mo agoyeah but what you're saying is unclear. for instance, when you say because they have to, not because they need to... "have to" and "need to" mean the same thing, so i'm left with the choice of concluding your post is just mush or asking you to rephrase what you're trying to say in a way that's intelligible.
- assimpleaspossi 2mo agoPerhaps I should have written "because they feel they have to and not because they need to."
- inigyou 2mo agothat's the second half of the comment. Can you also explain the first half?
- peaseagee 2mo agoSay what you mean and you might be better received.

- Guthwine 2mo agoI'm pretty sure "don't be snarky" is one of the first 5 sentences on the site rules.
- tancop 2mo agoi switched from twitter to bluesky and the first thing i noticed was the feed looking really boring so i almost quit. turns out the default is following only but then i found a great third party feed at [foryou.club] and now i can use it without getting bored. thank god for spacecowboy and their gaming pc.
