Nobody in my life gives a fuck.

Even my mom just shrugged and moved on to the next thing. The rest either didn't use it in the first place, or have been swayed to the dark side by me making fun of corporate social media. Or, you know, because they got tired of the bullshit.

Interesting, is she trying RedNote?

[–] southsamurai@sh.itjust.works 5 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Yup. From what she says, it's essentially the same vibe, though not as many "good" videos

Interesting how fast people are moving to another app

Social media addicts needs their fix

We all found Lemmy after Reddit went to crap, so I'm not sure we're that much better

At least this isn't just a constant stream of bandwidth-wasting ads

I may be unique but I got into Lemmy not because it was Reddit but because I tried mastadon

[–] Jumi@lemmy.world -4 points 4 months ago

Yeah, so what? Why did you feel the need for whataboutism now?

[–] m_f@midwest.social 6 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Mild annoyance. People are also annoyed at the asskissing of Trump in the shutdown message, given that he wanted it shut down last time he was president. IMO people will just move on to whatever else.

I don't really understand why the Supreme Court ruled that this is legal in the first place.

Corporate social media is trash

[–] thezeesystem@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 4 months ago

Angry very angry. Frustrated and depressed.

So pretty normal around here. Just more of it now.

Lot of people lost there jobs and income because of it.

I'm surprised no one around me has mentioned it, since everyone I know is obsessed with it. They're just playing YouTube shorts with the volume up in the break room instead 🤦
