  I’m really waiting for this idea to catch on. I got online in the late 80s to get away from normies and their boring, repetitive normie mind-viruses. Back then it was just nerds talking to other nerds. Nowadays you can’t even talk to your friends here. This whole thing is for people to get angry about politics and buy products. The sooner all these people leave, the sooner we can get back to what originally brought us here.

  Hopefully soon, going on social media will be seen as a bad antisocial habit like smoking.

    I can’t imagine using the word “normie” unironically in 2025.

        I’m not policing shit, but it paints an impression that you might not be aware of if you care about people’s impressions.

      I can’t imagine having trouble understanding that word but let me know if you actually need clarification.

  Get the fuck off Twitter, get the fuck off Reddit, get the fuck off Facebook.

  I mean, way ahead of you. But we’re just jerking each other off if we think saying this downthread of a Lemmy post is changing anyone’s mind. This is the most Preaching To The Choir ass post you can make outside of an actual church.

  We weren’t ready for the internet and it’s time to turn it off.

  eye-roll

  Listen, if you want to walk around downtown with a big sandwich board that says “Log The Fuck Off And Touch Grass”, I’ll cheer for you when I see you. But there’s a reason people flock to an easily accessible portal for social engagement. And its naive to keep shouting “Log the fuck off!” from within the medium you can’t seem to quit yourself.

  Idiots weren’t ready for the internet.

  If people would get out of walled garden bot ridden bullshit, the internet could be great.

  What non nerds use today is not internet. I like to call it Corpo-Net. Because these people never venture outside their billionaire facist websites.

    if this were a socialist country, the internet would be a lot less corporate. seriously1

      Im not sure having laws policing the internet is a good idea. Educating the populous and defunding propaganda advertising would be a better move.

      Also I do agree with bizzle, people need to just turn it off more often (Go see Running Man if you haven’t. Exact parallels to our current state. )

  Did you write all that on the internet? Or did you scrawl it in ballpoint pen in the back of a book you’re reading?

  I mean they got to power using those things so I’m not sure just handing over that sphere of influence is the best strategy.
