Only one source of social media? That kinda sounds like the definition of a social media bubble...

I oughta know, I'm also in the Lemmy only bubble and am completely out of touch with most people.

    Lol. Let me explain.

    For over 20 years I worked as a developer and an SEO

    I was layer off two years ago. Still out of work except for a contract here and there.

    In that time I have reduced my social media consumption. I find my head us clearer, my days a bit brighter and problems either don't occur as often are more easily dealt with on a clear manner

    I honestly have come to the conclusion that social media is now directly causing most problems we have, or at least exacerbates them.

    So i intentionally limit myself to this, and I guess YouTube( though I only use it to post videos for the business I'm trying to get off the ground

    Otherwise, life's easier without it

    I watch actual news on tv newspapers, etc.

    Yeah, I think quite a lot of people on Lemmy have similar social media habits (or lack of) to some degree. We also tend to associate with other people like us. Especially people in tech tend to talk to other tech people, or friends and family of tech people which is a limited demographic.

    It's a very different perspective to most people. The average person on the train has vastly different media consumption and likely very different opinions.

    There are a lot of people who consult LLMs in most aspects of their lives.

    Yeah I've seen that trend.

    Its very telling the amount of tech employees eschew social media compared to others.

    Though I may be biased by my proximity to them in my past life. I wonder if a true study has been done?
