    It’s almost like the problem isn’t social media, but the algorithms that put content in front of your eyeballs to keep your engagement in order to monetize you. Like a casino.

      Although I love Lemmy, I find it will be hard to recommend a normal young person to hop on Lemmy, Mastodon, Kbin, Misskey, Iceshrimp, etc. Most people on here talk about tech and politics. If you scroll through the main feed, you won’t get stuff from other communities unless you seek it out.

      Not diverse enough, but once it gets diverse, it will probably enshitify and make the community mainstream garbage. Then we’re back to square one with people making clickbait posts and attention seeking people.
