    Hurray! People stop doing stupid shit!

    you certainly have a high opinion of your own activities, eh?

    I agree that the kind of "social media" that is popular among the general public (i.e. sharing information about one's own life) is fairly stupid. But Lemmy too is "social media", any support forum is "social media", even wikis are "social media", and I do not think that those are stupid things to do, at all.

    That's one thing that I suspect to be making it hard for the fediverse to attract users. Maybe lot of people are just tired of social networks and not in the mood to try a new one, so they end up just drastically reducing their social media usage and are happy with it.

    Who on Earth was clamoring for more things the length of ads?
