Right, you’re disputing it with your own personal experience. I can’t argue with that so I concede the point, no one has ever had it as bad as you. 30 years ago everyone could afford to heat their homes and go to the dentist and there were no migrants. This era is the dark recessed pit of humanity, woe to us who shall only ever see the shadow cast by the peaceful, prosperous generations who came before us!

The worst part about this trend of doomerism is how it feeds on it itself, denying all hope despite evidence to the contrary.

I guess the world really is ending then. No one in history has had it as bad as you, I’m so sorry.

They fact that there’s always been a lot of negative news and world ending crisises throughout history. Everyone always feels were in the end times but we keep making it through. Not only that, we consistently get through it and make things better in the process.

There are broken parts to the world but we are objectively better off now than at any other time in history.

If you’re feeling overwhelmed by bad news, it’s time to adjust your news intake.

Maybe I don’t want a revolution. Maybe I just want a simple program that I can get news and follow a few people whos opinions I want to read.

But Naw I’m sure you’re right and everyone else just wants the wrong thing.

Blue sky is still the best alternative to twitter so far

Maybe not my absolute favourite, but this is a classic movie that stands the test of time.

I’m the baby, gotta love me!

I’ve noticed the same. It’s possible that a lot of content creators left. It’s also possible that you and I have gotten used to not having the lowest common denominator stream of consciousness from the Reddit hive mind firehosed in our faces.

All of us reading this post feeling the same way can do our part by posting and commenting. If everyone who thinks they’re the only ones here start talking the emptyness disappears

I don’t know about that. Younger millenials that grew up with social media are having kids and I see them posting about it.

For better or worse, I think social media is here to stay in some form or another. Maybe theyll fight harder to put some limits on it but I’m skeptical

They should probably join Lemmy.world tbh

I can’t use Reddit for most of the day because I don’t want to use their app. So all my energy is going towards the alternatives.

I made a bunch of accounts on a bunch of instances when I first started because I didn’t understand how they were connected. Even now, I’d suggest having one or two on the instances you like and decide which ones work best

How about both are bad.

It’s crazy that this is one of the top new communities to make the jump here
