Social Media is dead, interest media killed it long ago. I no longer feel like I'm connecting to people, creating community, having fun, learning. I feel like I'm being shoveled slop from the slop machine, I'm sure mostly create by well intentioned people just trying to make it in the world, trying to make their mark, trying to make something of themselves. The algos long lost the idea of subs and likes, and transitioned to how long you will pause on a topic. What used to be a series of recognizable faces, names, avatars, each with their own personality that I could come to learn and know who was just trollin, who was serious, is now mostly unrecognizable. Platforms have changed and fractured communities people went separate ways, not all the same ways. No one community is like it used to be, and its hard to find.
