    Also whats up with all the shaming and animosity towards people that have a hard time leaving a platform that they have grown accustomed with. I feel it is a bit ignorant to blame the users for the actions of of a rich maniac simply aquiring whatever he pleases.

        It’s easy to leave when you’re anonymous because you don’t exactly have built social connections (unless you choose to) such as the case in Reddit. But on social media where you’re not anonymous and most of your friends and family are there, such as Facebook and Twitter, it’s hard to leave. Besides, most people in real life don’t care about privacy and other concerns arising from social media. They get dopamine high from getting validation as well as they just got used to the platform to leave.

              I’m not being facetious or unkind here, but for many 10’s of thousands of years we have been developing meaningful social circles by seeing people in person. Just give it a go!

                I prefer going outside, though not everyone shares the same sentiment. Whether we like it or not, social media is the new plaza. There is a reason that millenials and the following generation are considered more superficial than the older ones. Edit: Older generations also think the youths are more aloof, because we got accustomed to digital interaction behind the safety of computer screen.

        It was brought to my attention lemmy has no native Mute support and not all apps have Mute. Its something they should support as a compromise for users who don’t want to leave, or otherwise, choose not to ignore topics.

        I have no problem with No Fuck Monkey getting posted here. He is the richest technologist on Earth. X/Twitter is still a thing. SpaceX is a thing. That’s technology.
