Well, I’d like to add, that most people do not use social media -almost interchangeable with internet for most folks- to interact with strangers in a reddit/discord/forum fashion… they just interact with people near them i.e. Instagram/facebook and so on.
Most people are in both of one of those and they are not going anywhere and not losing users, specially instagram.
Then you have things like twitter and tiktok, which are nor going anywhere anytime soon, yes lota of people went away from twitter, but those who stayed stayed for a reason (nazis and the hard right mostly)
So in summary, the internet, imho, at least for now, is staying right where it is.
Maybe reddit will fall, since the userbase was always more techy/quirky but they still seem to be doing fine, if your are ok with bots chatting with bots.
Right, I get you now.
My comment was directed to people who are constanly talking about the same topic and do no speak about anything else and I specially have some extra annoyace for people doing that with politics. Even if I confront you with “You’re so quiet” and then you let it out, it will still be annoyed, no matter if I asked first or not. Like, me inviting you to open is very different than me signing up for a unending hangout-tracendent only-about-communism discussion…
The comic is missing the frames with the other guy trying to change the topic and the other person perpetually stearing the conversation back to the same topic, which more often than not, I will entail some diaregard for the other party(s) in the convo.
A: Man, I broke my leg
B: aw shit, that must suck, right? because you can’t do the things you like I mean braking your leg in this shitty system, I wish we could have a system…
A: Yo, look, I bought this really cool thing that I have been wanted for years!
B: Cool! what does it do? ah… It was probably made by some slave in a sweatshop, you know? If we were in communinsm those would probably be made by some happy people instead!
(Dumb examples, I know, but Im no writer.)
I do admit, that me starting my comment with “As a commie” do makes my comment kinda obtuse and nonsense…
I stand by it tho. This kind of person is just very annoying to me, independent of the topic. Im quite vocal about my political views, but there’s too much in my life to only talk about the one belive I have.
As a commi, I can’t stand this kind of people… Like, is important and (sometimes even fun) to talk about this, but there is a lot more to life…
