Gloomy

I don’t think anything exits on its own merit on the whole wide universe, but that is another discussion to be had.

Content here seems to rise and fall if they fit the narrative the community wants to push. I was quite active on r/collapse and it only got The doom stuff about climate change. Positive messages were filtered out. That’s just one example, but it seems to be how Lemmy works and Reddit used to work before it was invaded by bots.

I’d argue that is pushing the ego too. It’s a way to reaffirm the worldview one holds over and over. And that is, I think, a very ego driven thing, since we all strife to be right about things.

Can’t Messanger be used without Facebook? Mine asked me if in wanted to do that before I nuked it.

Isn’t Lemmy social media, or am I overlooking something?
