Am I the only one who thinks social media has destroyed the spirit of the internet? (lemmy.world)

The emergence of social media has destroyed all the small communities to standardize communication and information.

It's a bit of a digital version of rural exodus. And since 2017/2018, I've noticed that everything that, in my opinion, represented the internet has disappeared.

I've known Lemmy for a few hours and I feel like I'm back in the early spirit of the internet.

The algorithm(s) and "For You" pages I think have done more damage to my ideal internet than anything else ever has.

I have a feeling that someday in the future we'll also see that the algorithm was also responsible for damage to the human mind and society as well.
