I've been noticing that the number of discussions on the internet have been going down lately. Although maybe it's just me using social media less? lol

Internet discourse is increasingly devolved into "agree with me or you deserve death"

A lot of people just want a constant dopamine hit, one after another, I love meme and shitposts, but reading a discussion about something interesting is definitely the best way to enjoy a cold evening in your blanket

I commented a lot on reddit. Since switching over, there doesn't seem to be as much activity for me to bounce off from. I still chip in, but it's definitely not at the same level

I interact with it less and less each month. It's become a toxic hellhole that usually leaves me wondering why I still bother to try - even in the niche subs.
