It’s been some time since I have been active on mainstream social media. Honestly I don’t even post here or lurk here, but quality of discussions is better here than reddit so I do occasionally log in.
Why I am asking this question is, whenever I am traveling now a days, I am seeing lesser people scrolling instagram reels. Earlier it was 7 out of every 10 person, it’s now becoming like 5 or 4. And on reddit it no longer feels like real people are talking there. Are you people observing the same too?
Yes it might not fit asklemmys guidelines, I just didn’t know better place to ask it


I think there is a certain percentage of people who are tired of the constant enshittification and greater surveillance and control, and everything else bad that has been exposed over time. They are looking for alternatives, or have decided to wash their hands of the ever increasing techno stench.
