if we’re not engaging with community and other people, what even is the point.

And it’s because of this dopamine hit / concept. that facebook uses bots and AI gen content to ‘interact’ with people to create an echo chamber and keep them coming back for more ad views.

One could argue to find the community offline/IRL, but it’s not so easy. And moreover, I want the old/indie/free/community run web back. Too many things have been fucking enshittified by capitalism

The original internet is way gone. The pool is now long closed. No more free bitcoins. No more original internet. Connecting with real people and not faceless AI gen bots is where it’s at.
