I’m not talking about fiction.

I think its legitimately a problem with the internet. There are enough people out there that take this sort of thing at face value as true. I think it makes everyone dumber.

I’ve posted shit that was inaccurate or at best dubious on social media. I’m guilty too. But I also got called out.

As for parties, I’m autistic and incredibly obsessive. I’m only OK at parties when I’m drunk or high otherwise I’m a ball of miserable anxiety.

I feel like things being real or true matters. Maybe that’s just me.

You talk to people about your astrology sign without really believing in that shit too?

Getting real “That happened” vibes here.

Reading these comments I feel a sense of dread. You are all experiencing survivor bias. Initially when I ran into barriers I gave up for like a year before bothering to try Lemmy again.

If you don’t want Lemmy to serve as an actual counter to corporate controlled social media if it means letting in “normies” then you are content with corporate controlled social media continuing to dominate our lives. Which sounds about right for humanity. The smugness is vile.

Just bring on the vacuum decay event already.
