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

- gnoll_of_gozag 4mo 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 4mo 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 4mo agoWhat?
- assimpleaspossi 4mo agoYou heard me.
- pasquinelli 4mo 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 4mo agoPerhaps I should have written "because they feel they have to and not because they need to."
- inigyou 4mo agothat's the second half of the comment. Can you also explain the first half?
- peaseagee 4mo agoSay what you mean and you might be better received.

- Guthwine 4mo agoI'm pretty sure "don't be snarky" is one of the first 5 sentences on the site rules.
- tancop 4mo 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.
