It’s not just boomers though. I work with a lot of younger people and they all still use xitter/facebook.

They either don’t know/care about alternatives because “everyone else is using it”

Instead of comparing these smaller platforms together to find out why one is better or not people should be focusing on why xitter and Facebook are still two of the most popular forms of social media.

It’s posts like these that make me realize just how disconnected lemmy is from real life.

We’ve become an echo chamber where everyone acts like people aren’t readily willing to put up with all this enshitification.

Streaming services are just cable services anymore. And it’s not gonna change anytime soon because the average person doesn’t care enough to find an alternative.

Except what the leader of Germany decides to do doesn’t generally affect the entire planet. At the same time if the leader of Germany was a racist, sexist, fascist, bigoted piece of shit hell bent on becoming a dictator I’d wanna know about every detail.

“How do I bury my head in the sand and act like none of this is real?”

This is what everyone who says shit like this sounds like. I get that it’s not your country but the fact remains that it’s still going to effect you as well.

Women create most of their own issues and then blame men for not fixing them.

Obviously I’m not saying all their problems cause men are pretty fucked but most of the problems women complain about are because of other women.

Especially when it comes to beauty standards.

You could just replace “very” with “fucking” and get the same results as all the synonyms.
