Probably. We have daily brainwashing on all platforms, and it's on Lemmy too.

They all try to make the user sit and circle jerk over something, wasting their life energy.

When you get old and you have spend your days playing games or being on social media, you will feel it was a very empty life. Meaning is found when taking to other people in real life, having fun together. But everyone seems to rather sit on their phones or being plugged into music than to talk to strangers and live your life in the real world.

    it’s on Lemmy too.

    Kinda hard to gauge the degree though.

    Are you a bot? Am I a bot? Is anyone reading this or is it all just bots jerking each other off?

    I grew up in the 80s.

    People stared at their newspapers/comic books or their Gameboys or had eyes closed listening to head phones or just tried not to make eye contact.

    There was not some golden era when talking to strangers was normal and people were living in the "real" world. Today isn't nearly as divorced from the past is people like to pretend.
