I don’t know if others are experiencing a similar situation. My all feed is very sparse with engagement. If I sort top six hours or by top 12 most posts have between 5-10 comments. I feel like there was more in the past? Is engagement dropping off? I’m on lemmy.world as my instance.

    I think the advantage of larger user bases (not always) is that the more nuanced discussions often bubble to the top. That is impossible here because the user base is so small. That’s why it’s a flatline of ACAB, extreme leftie eat the rich, etc. There is a big void in the middle left by that in-depth conversation: Nothing seems to get past that surface layer analysis. If we want to talk about Oct 7 well be prepared to hear about the Peele commission and apartheid state. On and on. Unless of course maybe I’m getting old and all social media is converging into vacuous and hollow content. Were da 30+ at??

      Lol, Lemmy Silver, for the old lemmings. I suppose it’s part of getting older. We’ve all had these high level conversations for decades and anything we’re still interested in, we’ve had decades to get really granular on them. But the young ones are learning this guy Reagan did some shit once upon a time or there was a guy named Lenin that said regular people are important, etc for the first time, and I’m glad for them, but the access to data we have I’d hope you’d do a little more reading before shouting the same crap over and over. “Doing your own research” once and then never exploring any further or checking out other sides makes you just as annoying as that anti-vaxer.

      Now I sound too damn old! 😧
