I also have that same additional filter as well, haha.

Maybe... we could... be friends lol?

I am so very tired of trying to explain how awful social media apps are to everyone, how they don't realize they're addicted to a digital drug that makes them angry, depressed and misinformed...

And then you also try to explain how to actually do online security, and they usually get angry when you tell them that all the marketing and advertisments lied to them.

Probably lol. I'd wager most of us Lemmy dorks would get along with most of us Lemmy dorks IRL or otherwise

I suppose Lemmy is social media but its non-monetary, completely-volunteer-run nature really does make it feel like a different animal. At least I'm not horribly addicted like I used to be with Reddit, anyway
