Why social media became an unlikable place ? (lemmy.world)

No hate to anyone, but imo, social media has lost the original meaning for which it was founded. It was created for communicating with people, but many have become completely absorbed in it and forgotten how to live and talk in reality. There is so much to learn from these platforms beyond mere amusement, but they have become solely about entertainment. There is no respect for anyone with the anonymity it had. While it has its own pros and cons, I feel it’s declining, and companies don’t seem to care about this issue until they stop making profits.

This is what I wanted to hear about. The social media lost their purpose of what they’re created for. Its no more to connect with the people, just a place to get away from the people and lost ourselves without knowing. I knew about the enshittification, which made to post this. I liked reddit a lot, but now lemmy is way much better than it, because it doesn’t have the urge to make karma, to make some numbers and no posts on every seconds. Recently they introduced the streak concept, which made me to find an alternative. Reddit soon to be ended not only by the company, but also by the users. From what I experienced a long time ago was a helping and supportive community, now its just a bully mentality to showoff their intellectual on others.
