I do not see how Lemmy helps with anything other than allowing people another excuse for escapism and scrolling on the internet over actually developing life skills, seeing new sights, socializing with humans, getting better at understanding people, and actually making an effort to communicate with others, doing some small part to make the world better.
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.
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
Sure, and my point is maybe we all need to put away the internet entirely a little more often, it's literally killing us and the world.
The internet can be an amazing thing. It's greed that's turned it into an incorporated husk.
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.

Well other than politics reddit is quite good. It's the best for asking stuff about unis, degrees and jobs

Reddit is like CNN, which is Fox-lite, while xitter is ( oan and newsmax)
Don't we still have a few years before lemmy somehow enshittifies?
It's impossible by design. If an instance enshittifies people will just leave the instance.
if .world says being a minor is bannable suddenly there's no minors anywhere on Lemmy. A minor example that is understandable, sure, but it's just to show that a single large instance can cause a lot of change if they decide to.
Lemmy.world is the second largest Lemmy instance, and less than a third of all users. If someone doesn't like their rules it is trivial for a person to move to an instance who's ruleset better aligns with their wishes.
But I don't think that's true at all.
I haven't seen anyone share their age that's less than 18 since that change 🤷♀️
I hadn't seen that before the change? I didn't even know there was one.
that's a fair point lol, good talking to ya!
The protocol itself could surely start its journey if enshittification? In which case different, possibly incompatible, branches would spawn fragmenting the Lemmy space. Still miles better than the whole thing burning to the ground. But with no shareholders looming around (yet) we can hope it won't come to that.
I don't see how, it's covered by a good license, and if it did it'd be forked in an instant. Can you give a historical example?

Isn't that the exact same argument for Twitter? If Twitter gets shitty, people will just leave? Because I feel like we're not really seeing that.
No, not at all, twitter is not decentralized, with a lemmy instance, if you leave, you lose nothing at all. With twitter, you can't take the content or your account
Not quite accurate. If you leave an instance, you do lose any posts or comments you had. Not a big loss, but there is that sense of investment in an account and reputation.

Not really. It's not a centralized platform by design - unless you're talking about the flagship instances, which are a common problem with federated projects

If you're still on Earth...
I don't want to be part of a problem. I want to be the whole problem
Apparently if you want to do that you have to buy Twitter
Lmao well I found this place cause they won’t let me on Reddit anymore. They didn’t appreciate my colourful thoughts on Musk.
Honestly you could get banned for upvoting someone who stated someone seemed agitated and should try following dear leaders advice and take a shot of ivermecrin, a shot of bleach, and take a nap.
Watching reddits fall over the span of 12 years was certainly a thing.
