OMG thank you so much! holy amazing.
I just got recommended this site after posting on reddit re: predatory algos and the necessary regulations needed to protect people and how algos have manipulated the UX so much its disrupted the originally intended purposes; ie insta has effectively become a marketing and advertising platform.
So in response someone suggested finding alternatives to the popular social media sites and used Lemmy as an example.
I have been loving it thus far - its old school reddit.
this is my first comment on lemmy!
This type of behavior is a coping mechanism when under high amounts of stress, ie controlling what they can rather than confronting the adversity of the unknown.
it can be therapeutic in moderation
