I've been noticing that the number of discussions on the internet have been going down lately. Although maybe it's just me using social media less? lol
I commented a lot on reddit. Since switching over, there doesn't seem to be as much activity for me to bounce off from. I still chip in, but it's definitely not at the same level
I interact with it less and less each month. It's become a toxic hellhole that usually leaves me wondering why I still bother to try - even in the niche subs.
I’ve found it’s hard to get any Discord community together where chat messages are less than 60% reposted meme images. Someone will post an interesting thought, and then the next post is a single emote or a cat-related meme with a single word like “Udge”.
This isn't wrong, but shitposts bring people who meme which brings people who discuss. Have to get a strong user base before strong discussions really kick off.
In some niche communities, its discussions stay valid like /c/radiology

Poo poo!
Perfectly balanced.
Lmao, the number of comments on this post is ironic. I've had some pretty fun conversations on lemmy.

Rules:
- Be civil and nice.
- Try not to excessively repost, as a rule of thumb, wait at least 2 months to do it if you have to.
