I'm dumb as a fucking brick and yet here I am.
There literally is no excuse if I can figure it out. The only excuse I see is that people just don't want to leave the comfort of reddit and go here and actually put in the effort to build this place. Which btw isn't super hard either. You can make or comment on posts of you're a tech retard like I am. That is a way to keep the pulse of this place alive.
I think people would do themselves a favor if they just admitted that they don't want to change because of the comfort of the big tech platforms and how they feed you endless entertainment without you having to make any effort.
If I feel Lemmy is dull, it is my own fault for not adding to it. If I don't have anything to add, I'll have to deal with Lemmy being boring for a day or two and in the meantime I do something else.
I think the scariest part about mainstream social media and part of why I cut the chord, was because it turns you into a mindless zombie. I still deal woth someone of the effects of it. The fear of boredom. It's such a destructive thing I allowed to do to my brain and it'll take me a minute to learn to be bored again. Already much better now than I used to be, but fuck. The level of lazy social media lures you into is scary.
