    I mean, yeah. It’s always been there a bit, sure, but it felt like culture was making a little bit of progress on that front for a couple of years, but now it feels like the whole culture has gone back to 2010s level of childish cliquery and bullying. Just trying way too hard to be trendy and keep up with the Jones’s. It’s kind of sad and hyperconsumerist.

    There’s a weird undercurrent of vapidness and meanspiritedness I haven’t felt since the 2015 chud pepe days.

      Hell it seems even worse on that front. A lot of social media is just 4ch@n lite now. I mean before it was always shit but now its completely braindead. Every convo just turns into a struggle session. How the fuck is that even possible? i-cant who the hell has time for this?

        The internet was ruined for good by everything being consolidated into a handful of social media oligarchies full of fascists, both the users and the people in charge. Plus there are so many bots now, even many human users just use LLMs to write their posts, and the posts written by humans just become training material for more LLM slop ouroboros

        You know, it’s kind of funny. I want to think there’s a huge potential for a large mass movement of non-fascist folks to tell these fascists online to fuck off regularly.

        …Unfortunately for us, they’re too busy at work or paying bills or millions of other bigger problems to do this digital canvassing. For fascists, this really is it.
