Feeling Lonely

Capitalism is part of it. Spending too much time on the internet and social media is a hell of a lot more of it.

Capitalism bastardised the internet to be like this. There was a communal web in the making.

Yeah, but describing the problem as a problem of capitalism makes it sound inescapable and unfixable without a complete overhaul of society.

In reality you just need to get off social media and stop scrolling.

I don’t use social media (aside from lemmy). I can assure you that the problem is inescapable and unfixable without a complete overhaul of society.

The problem is capitalism.

I have no issues with human connection, but I am also subject to capitalism.
