    Was it “social media” or was it specific tech companies trading rage for clicks? I find it hard to believe that Mastodon & Lemmy would be comparable to X & Facebook in this area.

      99% of people on “social media” have never even heard of Mastadon or Lemmy.

      The other <1% are already here so what does this comment add to the relevant point of the source?
