Comment on Lemmy is a tech literate echo chamber

It’s been like this in some online communities since mIRC was popular. mIRC was not user friendly and people had to know how to access it, change servers, use commands. This seemed simple to me back then but most of my friends could not be bothered.
With Meta’s slop, TikTok, and Reddit being so easy people rarely step outside those bubbles anymore.

In my opinion, IRC is much easier to join than any meta slop, generally speaking you can just /connect check the /list and /join a popular room.
Meanwhile to join meta you need to first make an email, then create an account, fill a bunch of forms (and then I always get automatically banned after acc creation without posting anything lol)
