A three panel meme of someone riding a bike.

  • First panel: Someone riding on a bike. “Reddit is imploding, quick let’s get on Lemmy”
  • Second panel: The bike starts to tip over on its own. “Oh shit there’s too many of us, we’re being defederated?”
  • Third panel: They’ve fallen on the ground by the bike, holding their knee in pain. “Fucking Beehaw”

    I think past 10 years social media has been “grooming” the average internet user into becoming enraged at the slightest deviation from status quo and that’s what we’re seeing here. Rage means clicks means revenue for companies. People now become oddly obsessed with the silliest of things - well MY instance is superior, well MY video game is superior, well MY phone is superior. You get the idea. We all need to take a deep breath and chill the fuck out.
