I think the ‘problem’ the meme is referencing is supporting centralized social media run by corporations.
I think the ‘problem’ you are talking about is more along the lines of tech addiction.
Something can fix one problem without fixing every problem.
the internet can be a great place if you know where to look.
the problem you are referring to is cellphones and general 24/7 connectivity.
you can still get called with no data service, anywhere anytime.
so ppl… put away the phones, tablets, computers, gaming devices.
I challenge anyone to go off grid for a week. sadly I know I can’t.
It would be weird if a Lemmy instance tried to make itself addictive. Like congrats your users request way more content and it costs 10x more to operate now yay
Link aggregate sites do perform an actual function outside of the use case of doom scrolling. It’s a way that I engage with my niche hobby groups, aggregate news, and troubleshoot niche tech issues. There’s a reason why you Google a question then add “reddit” at the end.
This shits so funny bruh, stop using social media as your excuse for not developing skills, yeah its addictive but you make an active choice to not delete these apps, if I want to get shit done I delete tiktok, there you go, no longer distracted by easy scroll dopamine. Went i want a break from learning skills, seeing new sights, I redload it, wtf do you think social media is, there is less small talk and more proper socializing on lemmy/reddit type platforms than any other
If you’re still on Lemmy…
…you’re supporting the solution!

The internet can be an amazing thing. It’s greed that’s turned it into an incorporated husk.

We have off grid days on the weekend. I love it. I’d do it more if work didn’t require it or I didn’t have people who call me for help with things.

I actually enjoy talking with others on here. My worldview has expanded because of it.
with reddit the CEO ad shareholders control what gets promoted or silenced; with Lemmy they don’t have that power. that’s how it helps
