LB: a very good essay that's (mostly) about social media
I definitely get a bigger dopamine hit when someone I know favs my toot than when some rando does, even though they're objectively the same thing.
I don't know what the (or a) solution is, aside from, ya' know, not using social media. But the status quo is not good.
@shadowfacts except for the fact that I know nobody on fedi instances cuz I’m the only one I personally know that uses it
