When I share, I’m trying to pay it back. Some of you jabronies shared some cool things with me that I wouldn’t have seen otherwise. So the least I can do is try and do the same.

And if everyone did this, Lemmy would be flush with content.

idk I’m mostly here for the memes

Its safer to say “FUCK [Insert Name of Politician]” online than irl…

well don’t post it on an account with your name attached, but you know what I mean…

I used to post on reddit only to troll shitty people Honestly, as time goes on, the less I feel the need to post anything. I realized most things on the internet are garbage.

Sometimes I ask myself the same question when I share things just to be faced with my own feelings of purposelessness. I mean, the purpose should be sharing it to other people that’d be interested in the content, but the Dead Internet Theory has long been far from a mere theory. The insane amounts of bots and spam led people to rely on some kind of “web of trust”, “web ring”, etc. It was needed because it’s never possible to know beforehand if a new profile will be spam/bot. And it seems good to find only what (should) fit our interests, following only people that you know whom produces good content. However, this behavior has a big downside, it rules out potentially interesting content from unknown people, which leads to the impossibility of hear and being heard, which leads to segregation, which leads to digital echo chambers. So, in such a web, friendless people, for example, inevitably fall into oblivion as they watch their content being filtered out because spam and bots needs to be filtered out.
