Inception bitch!
They will follow us everywhere. If the medium is commercial, the capitalists will capture it. If its public, the extreme social interest groups will capture it.

The only thing Twitter has over something like Bluesky is the fact that Bluesky is so milquetoast and nice that you don't really get any of the drama you get on Twitter. Like, I never see comic fans going "Black Bolt would DESTROY Saitama in a fight!" and anime fans going "Nu uh! ONE PUNCH!" on Bluesky.
Same with Lemmy tbh. Lemmy is 80% politics, 5% memes about politics, 5% memes about Lemmy being better than Reddit, and 10% Linux.
It used to be so much more Linux, but replacing that with politically charged statements parading as memes isn't a much better alternative. My two least favorite parts of Lemmy are how every conversation is somehow just one degree of separation from Linux or Nazis. Meme about dogs? Now the conversation is about genocide.

If you're still on Lemmy...
...you're supporting the solution!
I do not see how Lemmy helps with anything other than allowing people another excuse for escapism and scrolling on the internet over actually developing life skills, seeing new sights, socializing with humans, getting better at understanding people, and actually making an effort to communicate with others, doing some small part to make the world better.
Sounds like a YOU problem.
I actually enjoy talking with others on here. My worldview has expanded because of it.
with reddit the CEO ad shareholders control what gets promoted or silenced; with Lemmy they don't have that power. that's how it helps
I think the 'problem' the meme is referencing is supporting centralized social media run by corporations. I think the 'problem' you are talking about is more along the lines of tech addiction. Something can fix one problem without fixing every problem.
Sure, and my point is maybe we all need to put away the internet entirely a little more often, it's literally killing us and the world.
The internet can be an amazing thing. It's greed that's turned it into an incorporated husk.

It would be weird if a Lemmy instance tried to make itself addictive. Like congrats your users request way more content and it costs 10x more to operate now yay
Link aggregate sites do perform an actual function outside of the use case of doom scrolling. It's a way that I engage with my niche hobby groups, aggregate news, and troubleshoot niche tech issues. There's a reason why you Google a question then add "reddit" at the end.

Is this image from something?
they are here now
Reddit is like CNN, which is Fox-lite, while xitter is ( oan and newsmax)
If you're still on Earth...
Don't we still have a few years before lemmy somehow enshittifies?
The fact that this is being upvoted so much I think demonstrates a big misunderstanding of how the fediverse works.
Nobody owns Lemmy and if a instance does something shitty it costs hardly anything to change instances. Nobody owns the lemmy software, and other softwares like mbin/piefed exist too with the same content.
It's impossible by design. If an instance enshittifies people will just leave the instance.
