    jokes on them, I don’t use social media, other than LinkedIn, where it’s sole purpose is for job/career stuff.

        It’s the antithesis to social media. We’re all not socializing, but nerding over some topics nobody else is interested in. I don’t know you and I won’t know your user name five minutes after I’ve written this. And that’s not meant to be an insult, I really like it that way. We’re here for topics, not people.

        Twitter/Facebook/Instagram/whatever is about people, and I hate it.

          Fair, I am probably using it wrong, hehe. I definitely am picking up quite a few names and occasionally socialising. For me it’s just the current platform nerds are socialising on until this one gets too popular/ruined and we have to move again.

            I mean of course that’s how we use it. It’s just vastly different to the other networks, at least for me. The topic vs person difference is something I really enjoy though.

        I mean, if I google my name, lemmy doesn’t appear in any of the results. My personal info is not associated with my lemmy account. So, how would anyone know that I have an account? I don’t even use gmail, and people are confused enough when I tell them that, let alone that I use something called lemmy.

    Lol, jokes on them. Not only do I not use social media, but I also don’t want to visit the US. Been there a few times. Never going back.

      I’m in this same boat. Unless you count Reddit, or Lemmy, they ain’t finding shit.

      Not that I want to go to that shit hole country.

    So in 5 years these young tourists from the countries that banned kids from social media will do what? They were legally mandated to stay off. And since they are brainrot free why would they start? Hell, why would they come to the US?
